What is the largest UID on your system?  AFAIK, the quota file has a
fixed size entry for every UID from 0 to the highest and if you have
a very big UID, then quota file will also be big.  The file has holes
in it (ie. the unused UIDs do not actually use any disk space).

I haven't seen quota files THAT big on my systems, though..
