Greetings,

  I've recently become a bit annoyed and frustrated looking at this in
  top:

  Has anyone been working on or considering how to improve the logic
  around doing extends on relations to perhaps make larger extensions
  for larger tables?  Or make larger extensions when tables are growing
  very quickly?  
  
  I haven't looked at the code, but I'm guessing we extend relations
  when they're full (that part makes sense..), but we extend them an
  itty-bitty bit at a time, which very quickly ends up being not fast
  enough for the processes that want to get data into the table.

  My gut feeling is that we could very easily and quickly improve this
  situation by having a way to make larger extensions, and then using
  that method when we detect that a table is growing very quickly.

        Thoughts?

                Thanks,

                        Stephen
