One more point: Over IM Robert commented that it's not guaranteed that
itemid order correlates precisely with reverse "tuple data" order. After
PageRepairFragmentation() that'll not be the case anymore. That's true,
but I suspect in many cases with larger analytics queries the
correlation will still be significant, and we also could make it
guaranteed with the price of making PageRepairFragmentation() a bit more
expensive.

Greetings,
