Sorry, I forgot to mention, it's for 7.4. There doesn't seem to be the
equivalent page or subject in the 7.4 documentation. In addition, the
explaination is a high level description of table or index page but
light on the details.

I don't think works well. How do I work out the space taken by a
single table that grows at a different rate than another table?
