The basic claim that I'm making wrt to this benchmark is that there may
be a significant impact on performance with changing the block size,
thus this is worth investigating. I think this claim is quite safe,
even if the benchmark is not the best possible.
Well, you went straight to making it something adjustable at run time.
What I really did was to go straight to asking the question:-)
Up to now I have two answers, or really caveats:
- a varying blocksize implementation should have minimum effects
on performance for user of the default settings.
- the said benchmark may not be that meaningful, so the performance
impact is to be accessed more thoroughly.
And I don't see that as being warranted at this point. But further
benchmarks sound like a good idea.
Yep. A 10% potential performance impact looks worth the investigation.
