I think 32MB is too much. You incur latency and lose

32-MB requests are the best for raw throughput.
~15ms to land at your target location, then pure 50-60MB/sec for the .5
seconds it takes to finish the operation. (media limited at that point)
Sure, there's more latency, but I guess that is application dependant.
