Created attachment 116529 [details] .ODS native file When the file attached is saved to .XLS(X) format it grows ten times. Confirmed on: OS: Linux, Windows 7 and 8 Arch: 32 and 64 bit
This isn't really a bug report - yes the size of the file is different...the xml is different. I am closing this as NOTABUG unless there is some reason to suspect that it's actually a bug. It's not enough to say "the file size is larger" (of course it will be, the code contained in the files is dramatically different).

Your answer is too poor to help.
There is no "solving" it - it's not a bug. File size can differ because different file formats have different amounts of information stored in xml files. With the given info - there's nothing to indicate that it is in fact a bug - it's just how file storage works. Stick with native odf if you're unhappy with OOXML file size. That's the solution
