As far as I know there is not currently any such mechanism.  I wonder
if the PTK people have thought about this?  I haven't gotten around
to signing on to the PTK list yet, but I really need to.

Go to database management on the control panel, and compress your
database.  This will delete old transactions up to whatever point
you tell it, thus shrinking the database.  It won't have any affect
on rendering speed, though; from what I understand ZODB is designed
to keep read performance high regardless of the number of transactions
recorded in the database.
