Some huge customer chunked their data into 5GB pieces so now there's a "if size == 5GB" in the cache code.


Maybe, but I don't think that would explain 8 GB also being fast while 6 GB is slow?


Yeah, I found that pretty unintuitive when I read it. How did you find 8GB worked? Trial and error?


Customer started using 8GB chunks /s
