The wp_postmeta curretnly using 14.2MB in the DB. Size wise this is the biggest table. I'm wondering if there is anything i can to so reduce the size of it.
Information found on http://codex.wordpress.org/Database_Description doesn't help. Neither optimizing the DB via phpmyadmin.

Do you have any plugins that write data in there? There was a release of Ultimate Tag Warrior that had a bug that caused it to flood that table.

I'm always using the latest Ultimate Tag Warrior when it's out. Currently i'm running on 3.14 .
Other than that, i'm using Google Sitemaps, Simple Recent Comments, Feedburner Feed Replacement, Head META Description, Code Markup and Akismet.
How do i know which one might causing the issue, if any issue?
Do you agree that 14.2MB for a table is way too much?

Regarding the UTW thing, see these two list posts from wp-hackers:

Apparently some manual cleanup had to happen.

That might makes sense since i was running the same UTW version. I've now updated to 3.1415. I'll check my table. Thank you.

It seems i was hit by that bug. Need to figure out how to delete those hundreds if not thousands of extra UTW lines.

The solution is:
- Backup your site and your database
- Update to the latest UTW version, currently 3.1415
- Manage > Tag > Tidy Tags

Glad to hear you got it sorted out.
Mark this one as "Resolved" up top?
