Forum PostIndex table size appears larger than normal
 

My postindex table is 336.38 MB in size. My forum has 546,236 posts and 29,018 threads. In all this time that I cannot ever remember the table being this huge.

I ask this because I am wondering if the large size might be linked to an issue I had yesterday.

Last night I was receiving a database error on my search_core text table and the server load times were taking up to 14 seconds. When I looked at the tables it was several hundred MB's as well. So I emptied and rebuilt the search index which went back to a much smaller size. The forum load times went back to normal and no more errors were being received on the search_core text table.

I'm just concerned something else may need to be addressed because the postindex is so large.
