Sounds valid.
When most objects are small then a large blocksizes is a waste of both
disk storage and disk bandwidth.
It would be interesting to se some real world measurements as there
might be other factors affecting this I/O speed like buffer management.
My bet is that 4K is better than 8K, but I do not dare to say that 2K is
better than 4K without doing some measuring on the effect (but I would
not be suprised if it is).
