Hi Steve,

As the description on Compacting the Repository -

"Compacting your Metadata can result in improved system performance.  Depending on your usage levels it may be desirable to do this more often."

I do this once in a while, but before I do this, I make sure that I have a complete backup of the Metadata Repository, and no one is on SI before performing this task.

Hope this helps.

Thank you,

Thanks Tony, I did see that article but wanted to make sure I understood best practices.  We will likely give it a shot.

Once we compact it I'll verify the answer then, or would you like me to do it prior to that?
