Yes, that's what I thought as well. With table size under 33 MB, the FSM
consists of just one (bottom-level) FSM page,

No.

Sure, here you are. tests.sh is the main script to run. You'll need to
adjusts the paths there for your environment.

As it is, the tests will take many hours to run, so you'll probably want
to modify tests.sh and pgbenchtests.sh to reduce the number of
iterations. At least on my server, the variance in the numbers was very
small, so repeating the tests 4 times in tests.sh is probably overkill.

Thanks!
