Scenario Overview:
Editors reconcile and post daily, but read-only versions created for analysis are not reconciled or posted.
The geodatabase is compressed nightly, but performance continues to degrade.
Cause of the Problem:
Unreconciled versions, including read-only ones, persist in the state tree, preventing the geodatabase compression from fully collapsing unused states.
Over time, this results in a bloated state tree and worsened performance.
Solution:
Reconciling and posting the read-only versions ensures that the state tree is cleared of unnecessary versions, enabling compression to collapse the database to its optimal state.

Alternative Options:
Option B: Creating a database view provides a read-only representation of data but does not address the underlying issue of unresolved states in the state tree.
Option C: Disabling editor tracking is unrelated to state tree performance issues and has no impact on the reconciliation or compression processes.
Therefore, reconciling the read-only versions will significantly improve performance.
