5:03:12moon-childistr being told that 64k is about the sweet spot for (syscall-gated) buffer size these days ... could be worth just changing globally
5:06:19|3b|somewhat depends on how many files you might have open at once though, though maybe people who would open lots of files at once would also have lots of ram
5:14:51|3b|even helps on HDD, 200MB/sec there with 32k reads, ~70-80 with 8k
