Metric index storage optimization

we have a data of 14k events under event index, which is unstructured. I'm trying to ingest this data under a metric index at search time using mcollect command and was able to convert the event logs to metrics.

As per the splunk docs, it states metric index is optimized for the storage and retrieval of metric data. While there is improvement in the search time, the storage size instead of decreasing it drastically increased.

How does the storage is optimized incase of metric index? Is there any additional configuration that needs to e setup. I have updated the always_use_single_value_output for mcollect command to false under limits.conf
