Comment #4 on issue 6626 by [email protected]: Cache files are subject to massive fragmentation http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=6626
The internal files already grow in discrete increments (from 32 KB to 4 MB). We could increase those values. External files have some limited buffering but they tend to grow by the number of bytes read from the network each time (the common request size is 32 KB). We could do something here but we would be a) increasing the memory footprint due to extra buffering, or b) increasing the wasted disk space due to additional requested-but- not-used space. As a side note, even if we ask for 10 MB from the OS, that doesn't mean we're getting a single chunk of consecutive disk space. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
