yeah definitely, its not necessarily optimal.  I think it might be  
interesting to see if the size of the file does actually get  
truncated after a given amount of activity/certain threshhold of  
size; it is a standard methodology to "grow" a field of data as  
needed, but to only "shrink" it at certain intervals in the  
expectation that the greater size will still probably be needed in  
the future.

but the point is, and why its "irrelvant" to me as the maintainer of  
SQLAlchemy, is that this is totally an issue with sqlite, and has  
nothing to do with SQLAlchemy.  you should ask on their mailing list  
about this particular behavior.
