Your database sizes are probably normal. Do you store images in the database or in the file directory? Images can really increase the size of the database.
But database size itself isn't really a problem, I think, except that backups take longer and, in my case, I've had problems with image data from the database not working when restoring from a backup. That's why I now store images in the file system.
Maybe what slows Tiki down when you log in is additional modules, etc., that are displayed for logged-in users. Is there significantly more displayed to logged-in users than to anonymous ones at your site?
