Actually, shortening names isn't likely to help much.

If you're setting up a new venti, not expanding an
existing one, could you make the arena partitions
fewer and larger? The original idea behind limiting
arena size was so that they could be conveniently
backed up onto optical media, but I suspect nobody
does that any more.  Nowadays large arenas can be
backed up onto a big USB flash drive, or onto another
venti server.
