No. The best way, always, minimum gsta -h, or maximum gstat -r.
Only gstat -r shows record size, versions, etc.
You should look at indices, that have depth greater than 3 (equal to 4
or more).

Anyway, you may always compare performance. 100gb is not such a big
database that could not be set to 8k back at appropriate time if
you will find that something become slower at 16k.
