This comment is more of a question.. Does the chunksize not have to do with how the filesystem stores blocks? I *think* it's better to retrieve in blocks that best match the size of the filesystem. So 8K would make sense since many FS's have 4K chunks and many have 16K chunks, etc... I'm probably totally wrong so someone please tell me why :) On Sat, Apr 27 @ 10:07, Paul Prescod wrote: > xreadlines' default CHUNKSIZE is 8K. minidom defaults to double that. > > Have those values been keeping up with machine RAM inflation and should > they?
