What I suggest you do now is type 'export_user' on the sysop console. 
You should have a user_asc that is smaller than your users.v3. If I look 
at gb7djk (which has been going nearly 10 years now), I get:

-rw-rw-r-- 1 spider spider 16507469 2007-10-17 02:01 user_asc
-rw-rw-r-- 1 spider spider 16483734 2007-10-10 02:01 user_asc.o
-rw-rw-r-- 1 spider spider 16459354 2007-10-03 02:01 user_asc.oo
-rw-rw-r-- 1 spider spider 16431463 2007-09-26 02:01 user_asc.ooo
-rw-rw-r-- 1 spider spider 16403761 2007-09-19 02:01 user_asc.oooo
-rw-rw-r-- 1 spider spider 16376602 2007-09-12 02:01 user_asc.ooooo
-rw-rw-r-- 1 spider spider 25124864 2007-10-22 13:29 users.v3

Those are the sorts of proportions I would expect. When you have created 
a user_asc backup that is a decent size, delete your existing user_asc.o 
which will have a lot of stuff you don't want in it.
