So my understanding is that the first time I do a read() I'll have to read the extents.  My writes are on the order of a megabyte, a 250MB file will likely require an extra I/O to open.  That's fine.  

It really has been helpful to have all this performance-modeling information.  

Thanks.

Depends on the number of extents in the file. Figure an IO per 250
extents for a 4k block size filesystem (extent records are 16 bytes
in size on disk).

Cheers,

Dave.
