Summary: I find out all sorts of things by accident (I'm not the manual reading kind of person). Hence tips like this one are things I stumble across and then gaze at in wonder.
Periodically save a compressed copy of the database. Then trash the original and rename the copy with the exact name of the original. After structural changes is a good time to do this. Otherwise, every few months. If the compressed copy is significantly smaller, it was time to compress. If there's little difference, then wait a bit longer before the next compression.
