Two screenshots and an exported theme.

Used TeeChart version: .NET 4.1.2013.11082

Hi,
I have a chart with 7 line series, nothing special.
If I go to the Editor of TeeChart and export the theme 
- without series base64, I get a file size = 7Kb
- with series base64, I get a file size = 9Mb !

I attached two screenshots and the exported theme (9 Mb).
Other charts in my application, having also a number of line charts, don't have such huge size.

Can you figure out the reason for this behaviour?
Thanks,
Stefan.

To reproduce the problem loads the client theme with the code below: 

Private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            tChart1.Import.Theme.Load(@"HugeSeries\Chart1.xml"); 
        }

I do not consider this a defect, as the SaveWithBase64 property of the Theme class uses the Template export to export the entire chart to a stream, and then renders this stream as Base64 to save in a text file. I therefore consider the size of this theme as within expected parameters.
