In the original Chunkfs paper, Valh had mentioned 1GB chunks and I believe it will be possible to use 2GB, 4GB or 8GB chunks in the future. As the chunk size increases the number of cross-chunk references will reduce and hence it might be a good idea to present these statistics considering different chunk sizes starting from 512MB upto 2GB.
