Oh.  I thought you were talking about

    5724 seriously suboptimal bufsize in cpiofile.py

/me crawls back into his cave
Aaah, no no. In some of the early work on "search v1/indexing shouldn't take up 66% of the install time," I tried changing the buffersize for reading and writing the single large index file. From my notes (and my recollection), going from the default buffersize up to 128k took my install/uninstall timing test suite from 7.5 mins down to 5 mins. So if we're reading and writing large files to/from disk, I think this might be a fairly large win. For example, reading writing the catalog.pkl (5.7M) might be speedier. That was the only substantially large file we create that I could find on the client machine in a few mins searching. It might also be useful for reading and writing manifests. The largest on my system was the openoffice-sdk one which topped out at 3.4M. I can poke at that this afternoon and see if changing the manifest and catalog pickle file buffersize gives any substantial time improvements.

Short answer is no, it doesn't seem to provide any boost. Ah well, was worth a shot.
