Comment (by evanmiller):

 Replying to [comment:9 kencu]:
 > you would not think inactive ports would take up a lot of space in the
 database… must be all the filepaths using up that room… but no apparent
 need to have stored the filepaths of inactive ports, is there?

 When I started, the {{{files}}} table contained 1.2M rows. Now it's down
 to ~180,000.
