It is reasonable to expect an inconsistency when the databases aren't consistent? What if you run the defrag twice ON THE SAME DATABASE, i.e., copies from the same unmodifed database?

It has been decided that defragmenting the store would be useful. We have tested the procedure on a disaster recovery server. Twice. The two restored stores were about a week apart in date and no drastic changes were made in the meantime. The first defrag completed in around 6 hours and reduced priv.edb from 60GB to 39GB The second defrag completed in around 9 hours and reduced priv.edb from 60GB to 57GB Previous tests of eseutil on other servers have apparently revealed similarly inconsistent results. Does anyone have a good idea about what is going on? If we can recover 21GB it would be well worth the trouble but if it is nearer 3 then the risk and disruption would make it a pointless task.
