Checking database integrity increased db size

Vialo
My zotero is running slow. The zotero.sqlite is about 70MB. I checked the db integrity (from preferences/advances). I didn't receive any message error but after that my zotero.sqlite became 5MB heavier. Because I was surprised, I reinstalled the backup zotero.sqlite I made before checking the db and I recheck the db integrity and again, the db increased by 5MB.

Is this normal? Why would my db increase by about 10% when I checked the integrity ? (I was offline the whole time)

Thanks!

    For complicated reasons, checking database integrity currently also vacuums (rebuilds) the database, which can have an effect on the size. It may speed things up a bit as well. In the future the vacuum will likely happen automatically in the background.
