I assume you are talking about "history" module. TE writes history data once a day and it appends data to the existing history file for each trade, therefore history files are not accumulating. History data is being read only when u actually click the history menu. You don't need to worry about anything slowing down after time. If you are still worried about that, i can tell you that you can reset history data in TE at anytime you want to, directly from the admin panel.
You prefer database driven trade scripts for performance reasons? You mean SQL driven? I guess u don't have much programming knowledge, because this makes no sense at all. We're using our own database routines in TE to increase the performance ,not to decrease it. SQL is not the most suitable solution for large amount of small reads and writes. And when it comes to history to be more specific, all trade scripts write it somewhere, either to text files, binary files or SQL. If history in the trade script you've mentioned is slowing everything down on your server after X months, the cause is poor programming and not the database type.
