Excel Files Too Large

Does anyone know if SP1 includes any fixes to the file size of Excel files. We are trying to replace an old reporting tool with RS; however, when exporting a relativly small report the Excel file in 5-15 MB. Has SP1 addressed this issue? There are similar problems with PDF files as well.SP1 includes a major change to the Excel renderer. Rather than generating
MHTML (which ends up being quite large), we now generate native Excel files
(which tend to be smaller unless you have a large images in your report).
This has the added benefit of working with older versions of Excel.
