Funny, IBExpert doesn't offer it either...

I would have sworn that FB did 32KB pages -- at least I remember working
with Mike Nordell on testing different page sizes (at the time I was
really hoping to support 64KB pages). I did remember that in testing
the 64KB pages died horribly.

I have just checked the FB v1.0 release notes and they only talk about
16KB pages. I guess our testing found that 32KB was "not a good thing".


This puts me in mind to re-try 32KB using the current v2.x code -- it
has been significantly scrubbed so it should be easier to track the area
were problems are encountered.
