If you want to keep revisions for a specific post/page (no matter what the other settings are), create a custom field named 'keep_revisions' for that post/page and give it the value 'Y'
= Starting the Optimization =
You can start the Optimization in the WP Admin Panel » Optimize Database.

Create a .php file, in the root directory of your site, with:
<?php
define('RUN_OPTIMIZE_DATABASE', true);
require_once('wp-load.php');
?>
Then, start the .php file from your crontab!

== Frequently Asked Questions ==
= How can I change the settings of this plugin? =
* Change the settings in the WP Admin Panel » Settings » Optimize Database -or- via the WP Admin Panel » Optimize Database icon (depends on settings)
= How do I run this plugin? =
* WP Admin Panel » Optimize Database. Then click the 'Start Optimization'-button -or- via the WP Admin Panel » Optimize Database icon (depends on settings)
* Click the 'Optimize DB (1 click)' link in the Admin Bar (if enabled)
= Why do I see 'InnoDB table: skipped...'? =
* That's because optimizing InnoDB tables is not really efficient, so change the table type to MyISAM to have them being optimized.
* Update: if you want to optimize your InnoDB tables too, just check the 'Optimize InnoDB tables too' option on the settings page
= I scheduled the optimization for 8pm but it runs at 6pm (my local time) =
* The scheduler uses the local time of the web server which can differ from your own local time
