 I've just checked my LR4 cat. I have 63,5000 images on my NAS, and 6,500 on my MBP hard drive. The catalogue is 748Mb.

Most of the images are DNG (sorry JK) but with a few thousand PSD thrown in also. They are about 20% D70, 50% D200 and 30% D3. The Fuji hardly has a foothold yet!

I think the size of your previous catalogue may be because you had previews maintained for the whole thing? You can control this in preferences, it will render previews upon import by default, so if you imported all your images initially and rendered previews at that point it could well result in a very large file.

Edit: Doug posted whilst I was writing, but do check the preview settings.
