The first thing that comes to my mind is that with massive deletes you
will have an artificially high high water mark with could very well have
a significant impact on queries the perform full table scans.  You would
need to review sql that hits that table and check to see if full scans
are performed if so, create a second table and alter the sql to hit that
to tell if it would make a significant different.  Then there's the
potential disk savings...which are often not that big of a deal.

There's probably more to it and i believe you could find the info in the
archives.
