Definitely true. But if people are ready to accept some more waste, 
there is also an option in RMS to not have records that spans blocks. 
Not sure if that is meaningful if records are larger than a block, but 
this is otherwise again something that can be used to improve performance.

If not, then records that spans blocks have to be copied, which at least 
for some records implies a larger cost again.
