default MAXBSIZE is 128kB. badly low for todays magnetic disks.
i have it set to 2MB on all computers that have magnetic disks. Great
improvement with large files. especially when more than one are read/wrote
in parallel. And no problems experienced
But for optimal performance MAXBSIZE should be transfered in few times
longer than average seek time. todays disk do 200-250MB/s so 2MB is
transfered below 10ms.
8-16MB seems like good choice. is there any reason not to set it that
high?
