I have been pondering if keeping pages half-empty (or even 70% empty)
could solve both clustering problems and longish updates for much data.

If we could place the copy in the same page than original, most big
updates would be possible by one sweep of disk heads and also clustering
order would be easier to keep if pages were kept intentionally half
empty.

So "VACUUM FULL 65% EMPTY;" could make sense ?
