Seems like you are reading it wrong, so let me make this clear: If you have 500 MB of mail data, and now delete 50 MB, these 50 MB still stay on the hard disk, meaning 10% is wasted. If you then for example have set the registry key to 20(%), then it would start tidying up (i.e. really deleting the deleted data) at 100 MB.
