Yeah, I was just thinking about that last night, and I should probably
change that. Originally I did it because I thought it might affect the
speed of directory walking, so I was trying to make some of the files
large to be more "real world". I've just tested it, and in practice
file system doesn't make much difference, so I've fixed that now:
