I just noticed that my database was approaching 100MB in size…wanting to clean it up a little (hoping for some speed benefits), I went into the referrer module.

There were over a third of a million referrers!  The database, after clearing them out, was down to 38MB!

I think there should be an auto-pruning feature, so that busier sites don’t end up with so much data clogging up the database.  Possible?  Silly?  Opinions?

If you look in the Referrer Module, there is the option to Clear Referrers.  Something like that?
