BTW, I have "played" with du(1) since it answers partially (Erik gave data) about the optimization of blocksize. Namely the "-b" option. If I understand correctly, this does take only "data" block, so no inode or whatever, but may give a clue about the optimization of blocksize. So: term% du -s / 364996379 / term% du -s -b 2048 / 365017964 / term% du -s -b 8192 / 365080272 / term% du -s -b 512 / 365002735 / Well... on this partial evaluation, the winner is 1024, but for 80k, not a lot to shout about. For the occupation of fossil, with 8kb: fsys blocks: total=126524 used=92045(72.7%) free=34464(27.2%) lost=15(0.0%) So I have roughly twice the size of files in fossil occupation: fossil, 754 Mb, for 365 Mb of "real" data.
