We've just today noticed that the size of our new database is a lot bigger than before we imported it. Before import it was 42 megabytes, and now it's over 70 megs (after optimization).

After 50 megs, our provider charges us by the meg, and given that we're a non-profit website, this is rather concerning. The main jump has been in the size of the index.

Has anyone else noticed this? Any suggestions?

BTW - On a more positive note, the forum really flies now!! smile
