Yes, a re-design would be better, but in the short run (which I'm sure that you dislike that phrase very much) we'd have less concurrency issues if the rows were spread over a larger number of blocks, while not using lots more 8KB blocks to do so. are you saying that there are no exceptions to the "Absolutely zero benefits" clause above?
