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.
