Issue command "OPTIMIZE TABLE table1". About files: ISD is datafile, ISM
is indexfile and "frm" is place where table format is kept.
Also I suggest you to use newer MyISAM table format instead of ISAM. You
can do this with command "ALTER TABLE table1 TYPE=MYISAM". This worksonly
if MySQL is 3.23.x.MyISAM is faster and smaller in many circumstances.
