Analyze and Correct a large SQL Server MSDB Database

It has come to my attention that some of our MSDB databases are getting what I would consider large for a system database. Some of our MSDB databases are over 2 GB which is a little perplexing because I know we do not create any user defined objects in that database. Can you give me some insight into the issue? I know we have this issue with both SQL Server 2000 and 2005 instances.
