The larger the blocksize the less likely you are of coalescing any (or that's what my intuition says). Sure, there's a tradeoff but the research has been done already and 64k blocks looks to have been found appropriate. what's the goal? the absolute smallest repository or access speed?

The problem is that I was planning on keeping the number of parts is fixed. So depending on the file size, the part size will vary. And therefore sometimes the (part block) that I store will be more than the current upper limit of 64k. It would be great if you could let me know your
