Most of the space in the filesystem is taken by a few large files, but
most of the files in the filesystem are small.  For example, I have my
recorded TV collection on this pool, which is 900 files that add up to
400GB, but I also have a full mirror of Ubuntu--164k files in 131GB.
So yes, I have many small files, depending on your metric.  There are
about 570k files on the filesystem overall.

I'm sorry.  I suggest finding a trump song--something which gets more
firmly ingrained than Lamb Chop.  I have no advice on how to get that
song out of your head, though.
