There is no datbase "compress" - there is only compaction, as in
bringing data together rather than shrinking it.  See List archives.
In that compaction does not reduce what is in the database, you should
not expect the percent utilization to drop.i

To reiterate prior postings, database utilization is primarily a function
of your retention policies.  Your database is small compared to the size
so many of us deal with.  I suspect that you are just ramping upward toward
the plateau defined by your longer retention periods.  If you are at an
early server software level, see historical postings about problems with
Expiration, and consider upgrading.
