As long as the number of files isn't increasing, all is well. The only reason
old files wouldn't get recycled is if a client might refer to a transaction
held in it. It doesn't matter if you have lots of clients running lots of
queries, the files will still get recycled.

See my previous reply for why you have 66 files.
