You shouldn't need to run hammer cleanup from cron every hour. I ran it 
manually while downloading the mail headers. This deletes ephemeral changes 
between snapshots; if a sector of a file changes five times between snapshots, 
only the last is kept.

If you have deleted a big file, it will stay on disk until the snapshots 
expire, which is 60 days in this example. To make it disappear faster, reduce 
the number 60.
