Jeff,
To fix the problem with database
locks during reporting we had to move the creation of the
temporary tables used into their own transaction. Unfortunately
the Jet database does not recover the disk space when these table are
deleted, therefore the database size grows. To shring the database
you must dump and load. NOTE: Do not do this while the poster is posting
any jobs.
As for performance, it is not
the size of the database that matters so much as the number of counters.
Therefore if you have a large number of machines with few ballots cast but many
for many precincts the counters will get large. This is becoming a bigger
issue now that we have more jurisidictions that are doing Early voting and it is
one of the many things we have on our plate to try to improve.
