Removing duplicates was done some time ago - several weeks IIRC.
And, once they've been removed, there shouldn't be a need to do it a second

This reduction in database size was due to:
- removing signatures for things which weren't viruses (spam)
- removing signatures for viruses which will be detected a different way (VBS
scripts)
