If you have a table whose size is 100 pages and you recreate the clustered index with a fillfactor of 50, you've created enough space to allow twice the number of rows before node spliting begins but you've also doubled the number of pages (200) and the amount of work SQL Server must do.

Thanks Michael

One more question.
Whenever I'm changing the field width or the primary key of a table, I'm loosing all the dependencies objects of that table, so I had to execute all the dependencies one by one.
Is there any easier way to refresh the dependencies ?
