Not exactly. /vsis3/ reads by chunks of a minimum 16 KB (with a logic to grow this chunk size when it realizes that the chunks are consecutive), and with a cache, to avoid issuing too many small HTTP range requests. The issue with the original NITF file are that those small sizes must be scattered through the whole file, causing a lot of 16 KB chunks to be read. I doubt that reducing the chunk size would really help with performance because the bottleneck must be more the latency of each HTTP request than the amount of bytes transfered. That said it is not difficult to try. You can edit the port/cpl_vsil_curl.cpp file and modify the value of the DOWNLOAD_CHUNK_SIZE constant to be something smaller than the current 16384 (e.g try 1024) LRCP with many quality layers is ideal when you want to be able to do a progressive rendering of the whole image.

When one of the L, R, C, P "dimension" is of size 1, it doesn't really count. So with one single quality layer, this is in fact a RCP layout, which means that resolution level are scattered through the files. It is still not the ideal layout fro windowed reads at full resolution (unless there's just one resolution level. You can check it with the value of <SPcod_NumDecompositions>) > > Anyway, thanks.

Yes, I don' think it is really possible to improve that with those datasets unmodified. I l believe that there are some JPEG2000 toolkits that can change the progression order of an existing JPEG2000 file without adding new loss (even if it uses lossy compression).
