I'm not sure how to change DELETE statements in this fashion, but is there a
way maybe to run an OPTIMIZE TABLE query every so often in your PHP script..
I don't imagine you'd want it running too often since it locks the table you
run it on, but maybe on the reload of $PHP_SELF or something.. It can take a
while to run on tables with lots of data, so it may not be the best option
anyway.. Just a thought though.. Ooh, maybe a PHP script run from a cron job
every couple hours or something even??

Later,
