u can save needed address private keys and later import in new wallet ?

Yes.
how to do that thing

Unlock your wallet if it is password protected with "walletpassphrase "
Export your private keys with "dumpprivkey "

To import a private key, simply enter "importprivkey "

Hi, I'd been doing a stupid thing making my wallet full of empty addresses, now the size of wallet.dat is 150MB, and it's noticeably slow occasionally when query thru rpc, I guess the wallet size must be hurting the overall performance. Is there a library that I can use to navigate my wallet, and remove those useless addresses/private keys ?
Here you go:

This would work, but if you have a recent backup you can restore to that instead of needing to use pywallet. If not, you should create one both before and after removing the extra addresses.
