Hi, all!

Today i saw a curious thing: i store 440kb of wiki files in an sqlite3 db
and the db file is only 400kb.

HTF can that possibly be?

After poking around i found that the wiki files actually total 360kb (when i
added up their sizes manually, as opposed to using 'df' to get it), and the
extra 80kb were from the hard drive's large block size (slack space reported
by 'df').

Kinda funny, though, that sqlite3 actually decreases the amount of storage
required in this case.
