Yep, I agree with that, and some past tests of mine showed that depending on the system, anything bigger than about 8-64K, will give marginal performance increase (and possibly decrease depending on memory allocation); so it's really not worth the hassle. It's also a size which we can allocate on the stack.

Use 8192 chunk size; anything bigger than that is a complete waste of memory.
