Unfortunately long tracks do consume a lot of space, although 20MB does seem 
like a lot.
About regaining the space, SQLite should compress the database every now and 
then (to make deletions fast, it doesn't actually remove the data, just marks 
it as deleted), so it will eventually come back. See 
http://www.sqlite.org/faq.html#q12 for details.

I'm keeping this bug open so we add a VACUUM call at some appropriate point 
(after deleting a track?).

Here is a capture where you can see that the "system data" size is about 50MB 
instead of the usual 25MB. I hope this can help to find the problem.

Thanks
