Chunk tuning utility


Explanation

It is often difficult to know what an appropriate chunk size might be for a given application. This utility would perhaps run some tests on a given system with a given file and choose a recommended chunk size. It might examine features of the system (e.g. disk block size) to use in its recommendations. Another approach would be to feed the utility information about the data and expected access patterns, and make a recommendation based on that information.
