I'm using 1.5.1 with the "delayrm" parameter, and building a new history takes about 10 min for 250 MB history-size.. Suddenly, it took about 36 hours. I noticed, that the expire-proces, usually using up to about 40 MB RAM, stayed at about 1.5 MB. I tried several things without avail. The last thing before giving up was to rebuild the history index files with "makehistory -r -s <size>". After that, expire took again about 10 min...
