I think glst.dbm is supposed to grow and grow until you perform a manual compact (dbdump --dbfile glst.dbm | dbload --dbfile compact.dbm), even though every --cleanup frees up some space that, according to the gdbm doc, should be re-used (so, all things equal, the growth rate should decrease over time). No idea how the glst.dbm size may affect performance. It has been reported that (on Windows) the file may get corrupted (becoming huge with glst using a lot of cpu) unless you compact it from time to time. On my (lightweight) Windows server glst.dbm is slowly growing above 1Mb, with no apparent performance hits. I've compacted it a couple of times in the past, though.
