Do you realize that "transfer size" is an abstract term? Doesn't look so
because you obviously fail to make the connection to the subsequent
example. And sorry for crushing your theory but you are wrong; usually I
wasn't sleeping in related CS lectures.

And if you are looking for things that suck then remember the bad
old days (if you were with us at that time). When you needed to install
emulation software like Ontrack to make your harddrive work with DOS and
then patch the Linux kernel to get along with it. Or had to write
modelines manually because other the monitor might go up in smoke. Or
needed to make experiments with hdparm to find the fastest Multiword-DMA
mode that still worked with your HDD. Etcetera, etcetera.
The "problems" with AF are a joke.
