This information is gathered to help design the new built-in
backend for sqlite 2.0.  Note in particular that 99% of all
database entries have a combined key and data size of less than
144 bytes.  So if a leaf node in the new database is able to
store 144 bytes of combined key and data, only 1% of the leaves
will require overflow pages.  Furthermore, note that no key
is larger than 99 bytes, so if the key will never be on an
overflow page.

The average combined size of key+data is 48.  Add in 16 bytes of
overhead for a total of 64.  That means that a 1K page will
store (on average) about 16 entries.
