Hmm... 4.5.1 here, and my (customized location) ~/config/local/share/
akonadi dir is far smaller than that.  Without bothering to add-up the 
file sizes, there's only a few files, two error files of 40 bytes each, 
the socket, a db_data file of 344 bytes, a db_misc file of 80 bytes, an 
old and apparently stale (modified last in February) file_db_data file of 
48 bytes, and the mysql.conf file of 2156 bytes.  So the just-over 2 KB 
config file is by far the largest file in the dir.

I don't have kcal/korganizer installed and I'm still running kmail-4.4.6 
which isn't akonadified yet, so the only thing it really has to index is 
kaddressbook's contacts... and while kaddressbook works, I'm not even 
positive it's doing that, as the resource-name resource pointer in 
akonaditray is blank.

But everything's apparently working and it's not taking huge amounts of 
space, so I'm not complaining.
