Comment(by zooko):
I think it is okay for it to use more reads, so the test should be
loosened to allow it to pass even if it does. The existence of that test
of the number of reads does serve to remind me, however, that multiple
small reads of the of the hash tree *would* actually be a performance loss
for small files. We should do some more measurements of performance.
Perhaps it would be a win to heuristically over-read by fetching a few
more than the required number of hashes would be a a win.
