Yes.  It's keeping track of every delivered message (also, if you're using
berkeley or skiplist there may be a lot of 'unused' space that the
database just doesn't bother deallocating for performance reasons).

For example,

mail4:sun4x_58:~# ls -l /imap/conf/deliver.db
-rw-r-----   1 cyrus    staff    90103808 Jul 25 11:36 /imap/conf/deliver.db

Which is just one of our 5 backends.
