Subject: [PATCH] Increase default chunk size from 1 KiB to 64 KiB

Benchmarks showed improvements or no change across all tests. Notably, 100MB Read improved from ~13s to ~3s.

The magic value of 64 KiB was selected based on Node.js's default of 16 KiB in similar code [1] and manually testing some multiples over that (Node.js tends to be conservative).
