Hi Lene,
I'm not sure if it is enough to justify such huge output files, but
most of the tools in the "raster" menu just output always float64
tiffs, that certainly contribute to make often bigger than the
necessary. This has been fixed in Processing where most of the gdal
tools now have an option to choose the type of geotiff for the output.

cheers
