That's not something you can predict without knowledge of the row sizes of
your most-frequently accessed tables. You choose a page size to suit your
tables, not as a way to stuff more generators into the system...

Regarding the allocation of more pages for generators - I'm posting a Q in
devel to check whether it was actually implemented in 1.5 and whether it
was, or will be, backported to 1.0.x.
