Thanks, that is helpful. It would be good to capture this (and any other
technical advantages) in the KB page itself.

Hi,
We had a customer request to increase the page size for uncompressed pages to allow more blob fields in a table. This request is satisfied by this implementation. While I was doing this enhancement, I did try to increase the page size for compressed pages also but this proved too hard for time constraints I had. I did try to discuss about the problems with only person I know who really knows how compressed pages storage format is implemented (Marko Mäkelä) but unfortunately, I did not get it to work with limited help I received. As soon as I have again time, I will revisit this issue and see what I can do.
