If you've got attachments in there too, that'd be due to verbose rules too.

However, I dont think Verbose rules apply to attachments, You're
likely to have 11~ish rules for attachements per post-rule, If you've
got 500 post rules in the rewrite rules, you'll have 500*11 for
attachments too.. Since most of us only have ~5 rules for every single
post, theres less than 20 rules all together which accounts for posts,
attachments, categories, archives, etc.
Eg, here are my 70 rules which myentire WP install runs off with
/year/month/day/postname/: http://pastebin.com/m2e95ae24

30-41 deal with archives & feeds & pages of archives
42-46 deal with attachments (and feeds of, and comments, and pages of..)
47-52 deal with posts (and feeds of, and comments, and pages of..)
53-57 deal with attachments again (and feeds of, and comments, and pages of..)
66-71 deals with all pages.
