I'm not sure about TB!, but when I worked with databases (~1990), you
did a purge (to remove all records that were marked "deleted"), then
in TB! case a compress to take all the "empty" space out of the db
that is left when removing a record. Also, I would guess a re-index
happens which would speed up access time.
Anyone more knowledgeable on TB! inner workings want to confirm/deny
that?
