Sometimes when I getting exciting challenge, I can not fall asleep for a long time )
Just don't try to drive a car. Take a public transport like bus or metro. I don't want you to kill yourself by falling asleep while driving.

I just realized that my previous advice isn't good for you. I think that you are just one-man-company with programming skills at the level of a beginner. My advice was directed at somebody who is more skilled.

I see that 4 months ago your wallet.dat was half the current size. From the questions you asked in the last message I think the limit of what you could successfully program yourselves is as follows:

Write a BerkeleyDB program that deletes the old inactive accounts and transactions from your online wallet and saves them for a separate not-really-online wallet. This program will not need to work with bitcoind live, it is better to shut it down, run this program, and restart your online wallet. The not-really-online wallet can be run on a separate machine and will not really affect the responsiveness of your web front end.

This board is full of the incorrect advice for the desperate people in your situation. But I'm not going to throw you to sharks.

The English way to describe your situation is: "up shit creek without a paddle". I like the old Russian poet's advice more:
Quote
Бeлeeт пapyc oдинoкий
B тyмaнe мopя гoлyбoм!..
Чтo ищeт oн в cтpaнe дaлeкoй?
Чтo кинyл oн в кpaю poднoм?..
 
Игpaют вoлны - вeтep cвищeт,
И мaчтa гнeтcя и cкpыпит...
Увы, - oн cчacтия нe ищeт
И нe oт cчacтия бeжит!

Пoд ним cтpyя cвeтлeй лaзypи,
Haд ним лyч coлнцa зoлoтoй...
A oн, мятeжный, пpocит бypи,
Кaк бyдтo в бypяx ecть пoкoй!
Quote
A lonely sail is flashing white
Amidst the blue mist of the sea!...
What does it seek in foreign lands?
What did it leave behind at home?..

Waves heave, wind whistles,
The mast, it bends and creaks...
Alas, it seeks not happiness
Nor happiness does it escape!

Below, a current azure bright,
Above, a golden ray of sun...
Rebellious, it seeks out a storm
As if in storms it could find peace!
