it's showing as just over 7 for me.
the weird thing about files on your computer is that sometimes they can show as being larger than they really are. there are two ways of measuring a file's size on your hard drive -- one is by how many bytes are in the file, and the other is by how much disk space it takes up. for instance, the way i have my hard drive set up, the smallest unit of space is 4k. so if i have a file that is 3500 bytes, it takes up 4k. but another file i have may be 850 bytes in actual size; it still takes up 4k on disk. (the extra unused space is sometimes called slack space).
anyway, had it been too big, you wouldn't have been able to save the changes to your profile. so it's fine now.
