INITRANS is the initial number of ITEs (transaction slots) in a block. 
MAXTRANS is the maximum number of ITEs in a block (if space allows). 
Each concurrent transaction modifying a row in a block needs its own 
ITE. Unless each transaction will be modifying rows in a single block, 
setting it to the average number of tx will waste space. Small rows in 
big blocks that are modified constantly need a high number of ITEs. 
Large rows in small blocks that are rarely modified need a low number of 
ITEs. For a high concurrency object, set INITRANS to a reasonable (but 
small) number, e.g. 4. Make sure you leave enough space in the block to 
enable additional ITEs if you are wrong. I don't recall testing this, 
but I *think* that once an ITE is created, it is not removed from the 
block header.
