Aaron, as an aside, there's no option to turn the dratted thing off.

Subject: RE: [geonet]: DATABASE FILE STRUCTURE
Aaron,
The .gd~ files are backup indexes of the original databases. They guarantee
database integrity in case the main GDB file is corrupted during a commit or
by a disk error. They are not necessary for a database to be loaded and are
only read in when repairing a database. However, every time a database is
committed, the GD~ file is written out.
