Squishdot has a problem that causes lots of empty transactions to 
be written.  

Zope 2.1.1 has logic to avoid writing empty transactions in
file storages (Data.fs). We plan to release Zope 2.1.2 today.
I sugest you upgrade to that. 

In the mean time, I suggest that you pack your database, 
as someone else suggested.
