Its was a high activity web portal application. It was generally growing 
to 8GB per week. A pack reduced down to about 2GB. The resulting 17GB 
was from not packing over a two week period. ;) My experience is that 
ZODB is fairly robust and have significant trust in it to keep fairly 
large amounts of data.
