+    - Paged Aggregation
+
+      This is one of the file space management strategies. This strategy
+      aggregates small metadata and raw data allocations into constant-sized
+      well-aligned pages, which are suitable for page caching.  Paged
+      aggregation together with the page buffering feature will allow efficient
+      I/O accesses.
+
+    - Page Buffering
+
+      The page buffering layer in the HDF5 library absorbs small accesses to
+      the file system.  Each page in memory corresponds to a page allocated in
+      the file.  Access to the file system is then performed as a single page
+      or multiple of pages, if they are contiguous.  This ensures that small 
+      accesses to the file system are avoided while providing another caching
+      layer for improved I/O performance.  This feature works in conjunction
+      with the paged aggregation feature.
