Comment (by itamarst):

 Increasing segment size would help, but:

 * Some code actually relies on it (e.g. ​https://github.com/tahoe-lafs
 /tahoe-lafs/blob/master/src/allmydata/immutable/downloader/node.py#L74)
 though _hopefully_ that's just an optimization. Would need testing of all
 relevant places that rely on it, at least.
 * It doesn't help with existing downloads.
