- IntelMiner 4y agoPresumably it's the tradeoff of CPU overhead versus disk and bandwidth (larger files take longer to copy into memory, which is also energy usage. And more bandwidth to shunt around Amazon's own network)
- SuperQue 4y agoThere's also a latency component. Since CPUs are fast enough to deflate in real-time now, your bottleneck for a read is your storage/network. Reducing the bytes read from storage improves the IO latency.
