Anything less than page size.


And "boost performance" does not mean that reducing your block size is a
performance enhancer; the mod you mentioned was more along the lines of
"less slow," not "super fast."

Note that none of this stuff is ready for prime-time yet, either... You
should assume that the block size == page size restriction is still in
place, for now.
