/* As of Jul 2011, 64KiB is determined to be the minimium
blksize to best minimize system call overhead.
This can be tested with this script:
for i in $(seq 0 10); do
bs=$((1024*2**$i))
printf "%7s=" $bs
timeout --foreground -sINT 2 \
dd bs=$bs if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null 2>&1 \
| sed -n 's/.* \([0-9.]* [GM]B\/s\)/\1/p'
done
With the results shown for these systems:
system-1 = 1.7GHz pentium-m with 400MHz DDR2 RAM, arch=i686
system-2 = 2.1GHz i3-2310M with 1333MHz DDR3 RAM, arch=x86_64
system-3 = 3.2GHz i7-970 with 1333MHz DDR3, arch=x86_64

Note that this is to minimize system call overhead.
Other values may be appropriate to minimize file system
or disk overhead. For example on my current GNU/Linux system
the readahead setting is 128KiB which was read using:
file="."
device=$(df -P --local "$file" | tail -n1 | cut -d' ' -f1)
echo $(( $(blockdev --getra $device) * 512 ))
However there isn't a portable way to get the above.
In the future we could use the above method if available
and default to io_blksize() if not.
