This sounds pretty serious. The biggest saves you should be seeing are in the ca 100Mb range (yes, that's also too big and something we're looking into, but it's not bugged.) I really need a test case to fix this, so can you zip up your original old save and send it to me (henrik@paradoxplaza.com) or post it so I can try to reproduce the bloating.
 
Thank you! I've identified the problem. Unfortunately, it's pretty serious, so we will be putting out a hot fix on Friday. In the meantime, avoid frequent save/reloads. If you let the game run for a year, then save and reload, the save should be much smaller.
