Hello,
The PGN file is bigger even when the games have no comments because it's a
simple text file:

I don't know the technical details, but the SCID format is more compact.
Thank you for using SCID!

I have unchecked such boxes which helped (scid3 and scid4 attached):
- export comments
- indent comments
- export variations
- indent variations
- convert null moves to comments
Someone can test various configurations to see how big database will be
with some parameters.
Mike: "Column style
I did as you have said Fulvio (see attached picture scid1.png).
I saved a new file as /najdorf-wyniki2.pgn/.
*New file is bigger* than the original one! :O
(see attached picture scid2.png)
What is interesting, SCID removed comments in fact..
I checked the new file.
I don't understand this.

I tried to find out in SCID help, scid menu and in google, but I
didn't find how can I strip PGN file from comments for all the games.
Open the PGN file, select from the menu:
Database->Export All Filter Games ->Export Filter to PGN file
and uncheck "Export Comments".
