Jamie:
I thought the file size would grow fairly
linearly with the
page count,
but for the last 10% or so of the pages the file
size hardly
grew at all.
Pages in the dump are in order of page id, and thus more or less
in order of
creation date.
Pages in the end of the dump are small, more often stubs, with few
revisions.
