What makes a space have large weight?

In section 2 of this paper we formulate several conditions (two of them are necessary and sufficient) which imply that a space of small character has large weight. In section 3 we construct a ZFC example of a 0-dimensional space X of size 2^\omega with w(X)=2^/omega and \chi(X)=nw(X)=\omega, we show that CH implies the existence of a 0-dimensional space Y of size \omega_1 with w(Y)=nw(Y)=\omega_1 and \chi(Y)=R(Y)=\omega, and we prove that it is consistent that 2^\omega is as large as you wish and there is a 0-dimensional space Z of size 2^\omega such that w(Z)=nw(Z)=2^\omega but \chi(Z)=R(Z^\omega)=\omega.
