Try compressing you Data.fs. I have about 1000 Squishdot entries and the
size of my Data.fs is under 4MB. It does grow very fast though so I usually
compress it about 1 time per week.

control panel -> Database Management

One other point, I had to make sure Data.fs was owned by "nobody" rather
than root before this would work. I use RH61 and Zope 2.1.1
