a smaler empty DB? not likely - you've no doubt fiddled with the page size
to ge tit that small but the smallest page size is going to be a problem for
you anyway - depending on what you are storing. If all you data was made of
smallint columns then the smallest page size might work for you - anything
else and you'll find a larger page size peforms better.
sorry
