Richard,
thanks for the tip. After vacuuming _FOSSIL_ size reduced from 9.7MB to 160KB.
Speaking of disk usage. Here at AT&T Labs I am running multiple
virtual machines each having a shoe-string budget of 10 to 20GB disk
space per machine. On that scale 10MB  times number of open fossil
repos is noticeable.
