I'd be _very_ surprised if the two compacted DBs differed

I don't know anything about your server setup, but an order-of-
magnitude estimate for compacting a DB that size these days would
be 1 hour, not 1 day. Best,

It took over a day to initially load the data. I was under the
impression that compacting the DB took place _after_ loading the data.
Do I have the wrong impression?
Hi Jeff, DB compaction has to be triggered manually. It can be done
at any time, including while you're loading the data, but it makes
more sense to do it whenever the server is quiet. Best,
