"Silly" is in the eye of the beholder. The preallocation makes write
access to the DB much faster. It's a tradeoff. The vast majority of
people have local profiles on their computer and their disk space is
huge and cheap, while their time probably isn't.

Right... 41.8Mib worth - even with prefetch off?

And of course there is the issue of thinking that you've cleared all of
your private data (Tools|Clear Private Data) and find that you can just
open netpredictions and find hak5.org & my last visit was:
$ date --date='@1399332866.664296'

Or no way to effectively clear site preferences:

Add Site Preferences option to Clear Private Data (clear stored domain
settings)



Well, in my case the option was "on" and the file something like 430MB, big enough to be annoying when I take backups. I have migrated this profile to a couple of other machines so a cleanup is in my immediate future.
