What is a good number to enter here? The documentation claims over 3 won't make much of a difference, but wouldn't more of the .sfs kept in RAM with less file reading be better? (assuming available memory) Also, I see an option for 'Use 4k device block size'. yes, no, or doesn't matter?

Like a 12-yr old trying to wire a house. Gonna get zapped!
