** Changes in behavior
- cp,mv,install,cat,split: now read and write a minimum of 32KiB
- at a time. This was seen to increase throughput. Up to 2 times
- when reading cached files on linux for example.
+ cat,cp,install,mv,split: these programs now read and write a minimum
+ of 32KiB at a time. This was seen to double throughput when reading
+ cached files on GNU/Linux-based systems.
cp -a now tries to preserve extended attributes (xattr), but does not
diagnose xattr-preservation failure. However, cp --preserve=all still does.
