But if the primary key is populated using a sequence, the chances of
block split are low here. I only think of one situation with cached
sequence and a lot of concurrent inserts on the table. In this case
there may be block splits. But for serial inserts with a sequence block
splits will not happen. Correct me if I am wrong.
