My db shrank a lot also, but re-grew a fair bit over the next week. I suspect it will reach a steady-state value not much different than I started with.

This is what I plan to do: - wait for DB backup to complete - enter 'halt quiesce" command so the db should be consistent - unloaddb (to disk) - loaddb (from disk) In testing, with out full size DB (47.9GB), it went down to 28.6GB. I am very happy with the results, and am anxious to do it on the prod server.
