If you look closely at https://oss.oracle.com/~mason/blocksizes/ , you will
notice that 16K delivers almost all of the 32K's performance gains in "Read",
while not suffering from slowdowns that 32K shows in "Create" and "Delete".

I have chosen 16K for my new /home partition (on an SSD+HDD mdadm RAID1).
But what disappointed me at the time, is that one can't seem to have a "mixed"
allocation FS with non-default leaf/node sizes.
