BTW, what are the factors at play here?
I understand there is a per-chunk overhead which pushes towards a higher
value, but I'm not sure what factors are pushing towards smaller values.
I can imagine that a 1MB buffer could be considered more than useful
(hence wasteful) but I don't immediately see what would be the downside
of setting it to 64kB instead of 4096B.

The docstring seems to strongly recommend not to increase it, so
I suspect there's a much stronger reason that "not be wasteful" in play.
