You can see the improvement by looking at the history of gemlog.blue's user page in the Delorean time machine:
gemini://kennedy.gemi.dev/archive/history?gemini%3a%2f%2fgemlog.blue%2fusers%2f
~33% of all accounts were spam so the user list page dropped in size by 30KB between 2023-01-29 and 2023-03-20.
