VACUUM cleaned up the file in my current test, after 1200 iterations, making it run at ~4.6seconds again, rather than ~5.1. It seemed to get it almost back to the performance of a clean file.
Didn't know about the vacuum command--Cool. By the way, the vacuum operation takes ~1.6 seconds for my test database. Seems like a reasonable thing to run before a backup or something, if your application would be prone to this sort of fragmentation.
