Used pages used to be around 110 Million.

And 95% used!

How long does expiration take, etc, etc.?

Expiration now takes 6 hours a day tops. Large jobs now take about 1/10 of the 
time they did before.

Did a restore/upgradedb/unload/load onto a new AIX box while going
from
TSM 5.1 -> 5.3 . The size of the database before was 460 GB(95% used).
I
trimmed 131 GB off my db by doing the unload/load. Now this procedure
was never done before on this db and it has been running since 1990
from
what I understand.
