It is faster but it may impact other properties of the runs - like
physical run size. For example you begin getting much more pages per
run, for all runs except the top-level one. 
I would avoid using string.rep() anywhere in vinyl test data,
unless I intentionally want to check the effects of inserting data
with high compression rate.
