Quoting from Tomas:
* Here is an overview what great results can be achieved using bigger blocks:

* And here is described how it affects the speed of the system:

It appears on my computer that block size 256KB is the best compromise
between speed and size (the ISO is 13MB smaller! and boot takes only 4
seconds longer),
