[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1653977"] @cradom, it's supposed to self-limit to about that size, but has a bug in which it occasionally fails to do that and grows endlessly. I've found a bunch of complaints about it on the net, and Apple is supposed to be aware of the problem. I'm going to keep an eye on it, now that I know it's there. My whole system perked up when I whacked that huge file, so it's worth the effort. If you keep an eye on it, you'll see that in that directory .stats files appear every 10 minutes and the .db itself is updated and grows every 10 minutes as well. Mine is now back up to 15.5MB after 2.5 hours. [/QUOTE]
