With my patch the behaviour changes slightly because it doesn't depend only from the file size but also from the number of blocks per group. So, if you create a filesystem with blocksize==1Kb and 1024 blocks per group, we will start aligning the start offset for files with size > 1Mb (1Kb * 1024) The alignment is not performed on small files unless you have a very low number of blocks per group.
