[V4MD] DB size

My DB already had about 1100 images in Picture fields, set using setPicture.
They were 32-bit, so I recently re-imported all of the images at 16-bit instead,
again with setPicture on the same records. My question concerns the size of the
database ".blb" file. It was at 89MB and now after re-import it's at 100MB. Note
that I did originally use a JPEG setting at 50 and this time I used 75.

My real question is: will the .blb file automatically shrink if the amount of
data inside shrinks? Or is there some form of "bloat" or "garbage" that remains
in the file?
