No, this is currently not available. Managing the database is
supposed to be done by some external utility/script/software.
It would not be too difficult to add such deletion feature to amavisd,
although I doubt it belongs there.

Sure, if you want. Amavisd (or amavisd-release) does not change anything
in a database on a quarantine release.

I haven't done any benchmarks in this regard. Quarantining is generally a
quick operation in comparison to all the rest, so it should not matter
much one way or another. Which one is faster probably depends much on
a file system of choice, or on the database setup.
