Yes the PGs are perfectly distributed - but i think most of the people
would like to have a dsitribution by bytes and not pgs.

Is this possible? I mean in the code there is already a dict for pgs,
objects and bytes - but i don't know how to change the logic. Just
remove the pgs and objects from the dict?
