Created attachment 688070 [details] Timing data for transfers for concurrent clients. The default *_chunk_size parameters for proxy and object servers is 64 KB. Recent testing seems to favor small requests with that setting. However, when that value is raise to around 2.6MB, large objects transfer at a more reasonable rate, while small objects begin being penalized. This is an indication that potential blocking file system operations on one request are starving other requests. When the setting is low, 64 KB, the small requests are serviced at speed, but because of the shear number of them, the large requests are not given the bandwidth necessary for speedy transfers. When the settings are higher, 2.6 MB, large transfers potentially block filling chuck_size'd buffers causing small requests to be starved.
