Try hollowing some of your objects!

hollowing brushes would just make it more complex and thus more bits of information no??

Yes, a hallow cube is 6 brushes-- making it more complex.

About the map file size: the difference could be the size of map, or textures. Is the 0.7 Mb that critical?

are you using a lot of custom textures ?( more importantly did you include them in your bsp flie with " wadinclude" or " nowadtextures " ?? )

Usually the textures are what takes up a lot of room. Avoid wadincluding standard textures if you want to save space.

1MB isn't all that big for a map. Why do you need it so small?
