Only in extreme circumstances does the cost (in processor time and I-cache footprint) translate to a tangible benefit - circumstances which usually resort to hand-coded assembly anyway. You're just saving a pushl, movl, an series of operations that (for obvious reasons) is highly optimized on x86.

Netflix has been the best job of my career so far, and I'll miss my colleagues and the culture. PMC analysis (2017). More on that soon.

Reads usually have apps waiting on them; writes may not (write-back caching). This is a 64-Gbyte memory system, and 48 Gbytes is in the page cache (the file system cache). Along with the numbers from the problem statement, this gives me a theory: Do the 100-Gbyte files bust the page cache, whereas 40-Gbyte files fit?
