Not really.  Every file (big or small) requires just
one inode.

Actually, you are setting the *number* of inodes, not 
the inode size.  If you choose 4096, one inode will be 
created for every 4096 bytes (i.e. 256 inodes per meg).
If you run out of inodes, no more files can be saved 
(even when there is lots of space left).
