To be honest, I think that's part of my problems with 7.3.  Our server
has been migrated -- in every sense of the word -- from somewhere back
in the Networker 4.x days.  I have archive tapes that date back to the
last 90s.  For one particular client, my indices are over 100GB.  My
media database doesn't even fit on a CD when I send it off to Legato for
debugging, unless I compress it as far as I can.

I wish I could make a clean start -- and I'm in the process of getting
rid of the older cruft.  But I still have a nightmare of legacy data,
and I'm convinced that's part of what is killing my server with 7.3.
