Was that any file in particular? I just tried it myself with a 257mb PDF (as reported by `ls -lrth`) and doesn't seem to add that much overhead:

    $ du -sh ~/.ipfs
    84K     /home/user/.ipfs

    $ ipfs add ~/Downloads/large\ PDF\ File.pdf
    added QmSvbEgCuRNZpkKyQm6nA5vz5RTHW1nxb6MJdR4cZUrnDj large PDF File.pdf
     256.58 MiB / 256.58 MiB [============] 100.00%

    $ du -sh ~/.ipfs
    264M    /home/user/.ipfs
