ZIL: Reduce maximum size of WR_COPIED to 7.5K
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Benchmarks show that at certain write sizes range lock/unlock take
not so much time as extra memory copy.  The exact threshold is not
obvious due to other overheads, but it is definitely lower than
~63KB used before.  Make it configurable, defaulting at 7.5KB,
that is 8KB of nearest malloc() size minus itx and lr structs.
