Not necessarily. If you're only interested in space savings and rarely
update your databases, then you can delete db.wordlist and do what you
described and you'd probably be OK.

Probably not quite. (And I'm not sure where you got the 1/2 figure from.)
The databases in the 3.2 code are compressed and the amount of compression
is fairly variable depending on how frequently words occur, etc. Again, if
you're only updating rarely, you can delete the doc index and save some
space.
