What is it with Genesis hair?

When I load hair made for Genesis, it takes 2 minutes and 45 seconds to load and fit itself on the model, much longer that any hair made for V4. Also, when I save the model and the hair together, it is a HUGE file, more than 1.2 gig!

But when I save the model and the hair separately, it is only 250 MB. I don't compress my files. I always remove unused objects and unused shaders before I save. And always save using local settings.

It doesn't make sense.

    While I think that hair might be much worse than other things, I really think that this needs to be examined by DAZ. In the Huge File Sizes conforming to Genesis? thread, there's been a decent reply regarding the difference between a Carrara save vs a DS save both size-wise and how the two differ in load/save times.
