Thanks.
I just assumed that as I'd saved each layer as a 25k file, reassembling them would be about 350K.
Didn't realise GIFs end up much bigger!

It's not about each frame but the blending between frames the more pixels that constantly change
the heavier the filesize I can't remember the name of the b3tard but he does those silhouette animations which have a massive canvas size but are extremely small on filesize because the only moving parts are the silhouettes which are usually smaller on the canvas this is a prime example of gif optimisation.

this started as a 20k file and ended up 344k with the snow effect
it's the amount of pixel movement, it ramps up the file size
