If the chunksize is set to a small value, each chunk will be able to store less data but there will be many more chunks per MB of the disk cache. The disk cache can then make more efficient use of each chunk. Instead of flushing data from a single large chunk of cache just to store a small dataset, the disk cache can now flush a few small chunks that is just large enough to cache that dataset. In short, there will be less wasted cache space. However, due to the larger number of chunks being managed, there will be a larger overhead for all cache transactions.
On the other hand, the chunksize can be increased so that there will be fewer chunks (for a given cache size) to manage. This will lower the overhead of the cache but because there are fewer chunks per MB of cache, the disk cache will have to store data in larger and less efficient chunks.
