Sooner or later every blockchain software hits a point where the size of the DB becomes an issue to look into.

We are addressing it with implementation soon to be merged to master.

This is a nice write-up describing the reasoning and actual design which went into the GC work. A lot of this information should make it into the code-level documentation as well, since it will be useful for anybody touching that code in the future.
