Thread:Project:Support desk/rev id in revision table is very very loosely packed/reply (2)

We have only 600,000 actual revisions in the table, but for some reason the max(rev_id) = 1,700,000,000

Running update links with a max rev_id that high takes about 10 hours because it is going from 0 to 1,700,000,000 by 1,000's.
