OK further datum. using my test script I see the following difference
with 2.2 changing the upper limit from 2700 to 3000 (I used -v option to
get the verbose output)

2700
# cleanup ints: 85 unfreed ints in 5 out of 2441 blocks
# cleanup floats: 26010 unfreed floats in 469 out of 476 blocks


3000
# cleanup ints: 85 unfreed ints in 5 out of 2722 blocks
# cleanup floats: 29010 unfreed floats in 523 out of 530 

We seem to have around 10 floats per page going missing.
