This thread caught my interest because after upgrading from v2.7.1 to 3.4.x my database grew from around 150meg to over 900meg. Also I noticed that whenever I made any changes to the database I would see a status message saying that 5 active playlists were being updated and it would often last for 20-30 minutes (This is on an AMD 8 core prosessor with 32GB of memory). On a whim this morning I deleted all of my active video playlists and then compacted my database. It shrunk down to 250 meg and is much quicker. I left the audio active playlists in the database. I never really used any of the video active playlists because I have everything I want in Smart playlists. All the active playlists were in the database were the ones which came with Mezzmo such as genre, by year etc. Anyway now things are much faster and no more thrashing with the active playlist update messages for 20-30 minutes. My database has around 3,000 videos and 3,300 audio files.
