I expect it will > be dependent on many factors. I reckon a factor of 5x is usually achievable - so 750Mb. But it does depend. Biggest variable is the proportion of the 150Mb that's taken up with long element names - sometimes e.g. in FpML this is a huge proportion of the total, in which case you can do much better than 5x.
