The most common reason for this are layer filters. Layer Filter, though useful, can multiply very quickly. This also causes the drawing to have a larger file size.
So to fix this problem you need to delete all the Layer Filters you don't need. This can take awhile if you have a few thousand filters. AutoLISP to the rescue. Our own Robert Bell wrote a routine just for this problem. See the attached file.
