> Having a too low chunk size may result in some wasted disk space. A too high
> chunk size may lead to massive overreads and may have a critical impact on
> overall system performance.
> In my case, the default chunk size lead to peak read IOs of up to 1GB/s and
> avg reads of 200MB/s. After lowering chunksize (of course aligned with read
> ahead), the avg read IO went below 20 MB/s, rather 10-15MB/s.
> The risk of (physical) overreads is increasing with lower (page cache size) /
> (total data size) ratio.
> High chunk sizes are mostly appropriate for bigger payloads pre request but
> if the model consists rather of small rows or small resultsets, the read
> overhead with 64kb chunk size is insanely high. This applies for example for
> (small) skinny rows.

> To give you some insights what a difference it can make (460GB data, 128GB
> RAM):
> - Latency of a quite large CF: https://cl.ly/1r3e0W0S393L
> - Disk throughput: https://cl.ly/2a0Z250S1M3c
> - This shows, that the request distribution remained the same, so no "dynamic
> snitch magic": https://cl.ly/3E0t1T1z2c0J
