While I was reading sources of MDR I found that BtreeDataFile creates files with additional space in the extents for their future growth. This can be perhaps changed for databases that keep information about platform is this will be very likely static. A result can be more compact file - less I/O (memory will likely be the same).
MDR is no longer supported.
I guess this should have been closed as INVALID hence doing so now.
