They are transfer Rate (KiB/sec) as measured by ApacheBench.

I suspect it is one of two things:

1. At ~512KiB the time to serve the files begins to dominate the time
   while smaller files are being dominated by the time to open them

2. The HTTP headers are not being considered in the transfer rate

I think #2 is less likely, since the smallest file I'm working with is
4KiB and I suspect less than 1KiB is being taken up with HTTP headers.
If #2 were the culprit, I would have expected the inflection point to be
much earlier.
