Backups to use temp dbspaces with most closlely matching page size.

For backups store the before images it temporary dbspaces which most closely match the pagesize of the dbspace being backed up. Presumably this would be more efficent. E.g. If backing up a 16k dbspace prefer putting before images in a 16k,8k or 4k...

Make range fragmentation work on high-write systems

Our application is INCREDIBLY write-heavy with highly transient data. Frankly, it doesn't even belong in Informix at all; it ought to be in something like MongoDB or even an in-memory DB. [I'm not kidding: 75-90K inserts per minute, involving BYTE...
