Mine is set _somewhat_ ridiculously large. Just not that large. And it seems like it just gets to be obscene at some point.

  Every few months I wipe out all of the `ls`, `clear`, `cd` and similar entries from my history file. Usually knocks the size down by a decent double-digit percentage.

    the history size becomes a bit smaller if you add: export HISTCONTROL="ignoredups"
