Heh. I am in middle of reading this material because we're going to create some new tablespaces and move some tables around. We're using 8k block size and I am not worried about the tens of small lookup tables that'll waste space. Even at a gig, I agree, it means little in the overall picture. I was just trying to see if I my understanding was correct.
