[rt-users] new database dump smaller than old one

[Aaron Guise]

Ours reduced by about 1gig.  I am sure it is something to do with the more
efficient storage of binary files in (Binary Datatypes) Instead of
longtext/longblob.

 I noticed also the backup takes less time to run..  All is well and we have
no problems so I feel there is no cause for concern.
