I think that it would be too much of a change to up to 1MB lines at the
moment so I'm planning on leaving it right where it is :)

In for a kilo, in for a tonne. Once we're way up there, it's not a problem
or much of a difference. :)

What benefit does a larger buffer have?

I outlined the negatives above (large static buffer, issues with
progress meter).

And it seems to me that Brandon wants to keep this series as small as possible
w.r.t. bait for endless discussions and only deliver innovation, that solves the
immediate needs. Are there issues with too small buffers? (Can you link to
the performance measurements or an analysis?)
