A measurable performance increase I'm not sure of, but under heavy
load the box feels more responsive for interactive logins. Unfortunately
the powers that be are convinced the box does "better" and the
timed involved to collect informative data of 4096 vs 8192 (or other)
blocksize is unnecessary :-( (they just don't understand that I
built the box for me to play with :-)).
