I've tried this post on the listserv with little or no results.
Hopefully someone can clear this confusion up for me.

I've got a situation that has me somewhat befuddled.  I have three
tables all with approximately 600,000 records.  Here are some
statistics
concerning the three tables:

tblname     rows     pages           avg. rows/pg    rowsz in bytes

tab1        599928    18772           31.95866    1000
tab2           601006    100265         5.994175     630
tab3        601007    2377           252.8427     37

All tables are in a single 32k DMS tablespace(please don't go there,
that's a
topic for another discussion).  There are hundreds of additional tables
in the same tablespace.  I'm only using these three tables as an
example.  Obviously I've done my own math to get the average rows/pg.
What I don't understand is tab2 taking 100,000+ pages at approximately
6 rows/pg.  Indexes are in there own tablespaces. Pctfree is not set.
I've done a reorg check on all of the above tables.  No reorgs
recommended.  I did reorgs anyway and no significant change.

Someone please tell me the important point that am I missing?  It
just doesn't make sense to me.
