Form Size with one text field 442kb

I started work on a new version of a three page dynamic form because the old version was 1,537kb.

     After setting up my new blank master pages (3), I placed a text field on the blank "cover page". The from size went from 12kb to 442kb with one text field. How can one small text field with no caption increase the file size so tremondously. That's a factor of 36! Any suggestions? I am using:

Microsoft Windows 7

Adobe Acrobat Pro X 10.1.6

Livecycle Designer ES2 Version 9.0

FYI: I have read that there exists some tools out there to inspect your pdf/xml and see what objects are increasing your file size. This would be very helpful, however I work for a company that gives very little freedom in downloading unapproved software. So unless there is an Adobe way to inspect for an object and its impact on size, I am in a tough situation. Thank you for your time.
