Last night I was thinking about my answer and I realized that I made a mistake. The files I showed you were PSD files. The files I downloaded were JPG files. For example: page number 77's PSD file was 85.5 MB. When changed to a JPG file it was only 5 MB. I'm very sorry for my mistake.
Thanks for the clarification, guys, and sorry, but I was completely wrong on the size of my .jpg pages PSE was creating. I must have been looking in the wrong folder or something! My 8.5x11 pages range from 3-7MB when saved to .jpg at Max quality level, not 1-2 MB like I'd said. So, no worries!
Thanks!
