Well, since we're effectively creating a network, examining
router algorithms like BGP and stuff would probably do alot of
people some go
he data to discrete sizes (1k, 2k, 4k, whatever). From
a performance standpoint, however, I can't complain - it would
make seeking through the database (or cache, or file, whatever)
less resource-intensive.. since you know the offset ahead of time,
instead of having to seek to it.
