I had such example. I had records which were taking just a bit more than
half of the
page, so that the second half of the page was just wasted. This gives around
100% overhead.

I've changed the page size to be much larger and the problem almost
disappeared,
but such database requires modified version of sqlite.

It would be great if a newer version of sqlite will be able to create
databases with
the specified page size and to detect that page size on opening (or at least
open the database with explicitly specified page size).
