Alexandre,

> There are any plans to provide bigger page sizes ? (32kb, 64kb)

Actually, Mike Nordell and I tried to get those pages sizes to work when
we added support for 16KB pages, but the maximum size of a page was not
defined in a single place but rather in each module/function within the
codebase.

At the time (v1.0) the codebase was too much of a mess to be able to
work through, so it was decided to leave the changes for later, once the
codebase had been scrubbed.

A couple of months ago I had started to work through the code to make
the necessary changes but stopped when I realized that the term "page"
in the codebase refers to both db pages (on disk and in the cache) but
also to in-memory/unrelated structures, and that I couldn't be sure that
I hasn't going to really screw things up.
