I run a few validators and noticed that different validators consume different disk space, starting from 350 GB up to 420 GB. All of them use the same prune configuration

```auto
pruning = "custom"
pruning-keep-recent = "10"
pruning-keep-every = "0"
pruning-interval = "41"

```

How I can decrease the size of the validator state to the minimum?
