vCenter 5.5 appliance database has quadrupled since patching 5 weeks ago

Since updating my vCenter appliance, its postgreSQL database increased 250% in size to fill the 60GB partition in two weeks - it had been holding steady at about 20-30GB for the last year or so.  I found out after I ran out of space - the DB showed 100% usage and vCenter wouldn't start.  I expanded the disk and added 50gb (110gb total) to the partition to get things working again, but it filled up again 3 weeks later.

 

I'm on v5.5.0.20400 now, the previous version was 5.5.0.10300.  I have 32 hosts and 200 machines.

 

I tried to vacuum the database manually, but only gained an additional 3% disk space.(97%)

 

I've temporarily removed the statistics gathering and set the database retention to 1 day and gained some breathing room with another 10% space after a restart (down to 87% of 110gb).

 

I'd like to know if their is a upper limit for this growth so I can plan (maybe VMware is adding more features to prep for the vSphere 6.0 upgrade?) or if this is a bug with no upper limit to growth or if I can otherwise do something else to shrink the DB.
