In comparison, my other news server running inn 1.7 has 460Mb of
overview data for 1.1M articles.

Some more interesting facts. I fired up a  manual run of expireover
just before leaving work. Now when I check the system I see that
expireover has finished but at the same time it left 20% of the groups in
active untouched. After some more checking around I found a core file
from the run (and another one from the news.daily run). In both instances
they blew up in tradindexed_search due to *search being an invalid
pointer. The problem is repeatable so I guess it's time to fire up the
good old debugger tomorrow.
