There are a lot of factors involved in the choice of this parameter (speed and 
latency of CPU, memory, system bus, holding disk, scsi bus, tape device, and 
more), so I can't give you a number. But I can say:
- Bigger numbers will take up more memory, but never make things slower 
(unless you run out of RAM!)
- The default of 1280kb should be adequate unless there is a big difference in 
speed between the holding disk and tape device.

Cheers,
