Um.... GNU updated this to 64K a couple of years ago:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=coreutils.git;a=blob;f=src/ioblksize.h;h=1ae93255e7d0ccf0855208c7ae5888209997bf16;hb=HEAD

Just for laughs I tried it on a T430 with an i5-3320M and 16G of DDR3-1600 RAM:

   1024=3.7 GB/s
   2048=7.1 GB/s
   4096=8.8 GB/s
   8192=14.9 GB/s
  16384=14.3 GB/s
  32768=13.4 GB/s
  65536=15.8 GB/s
 131072=20.7 GB/s
 262144=16.4 GB/s
 524288=15.9 GB/s
1048576=15.8 GB/s
2097152=15.1 GB/s
4194304=11.7 GB/s
8388608=9.9 GB/s
16777216=9.4 GB/s
33554432=9.3 GB/s
67108864=9.3 GB/s
134217728=8.8 GB/s

For that matter, a 2010-era i7-950/DDR3-1066 system showed this:

   1024=3.4 GB/s
   2048=5.6 GB/s
   4096=7.8 GB/s
   8192=9.5 GB/s
  16384=10.8 GB/s
  32768=11.4 GB/s
  65536=11.6 GB/s
 131072=12.2 GB/s
 262144=11.9 GB/s
 524288=12.3 GB/s
1048576=12.4 GB/s
2097152=12.5 GB/s
4194304=12.5 GB/s
8388608=10.3 GB/s
16777216=8.0 GB/s
33554432=7.6 GB/s
67108864=7.8 GB/s
134217728=7.5 GB/s

And for good measure, a cruddy old T2300 Core Duo from 2006 spat out this:

   1024=1.1 GB/s
   2048=2.1 GB/s
   4096=3.6 GB/s
   8192=5.0 GB/s
  16384=6.3 GB/s
  32768=6.5 GB/s
  65536=6.6 GB/s
 131072=7.0 GB/s
 262144=7.1 GB/s
 524288=7.1 GB/s
1048576=6.8 GB/s
2097152=4.4 GB/s
4194304=2.3 GB/s
8388608=2.0 GB/s
16777216=2.0 GB/s
33554432=2.0 GB/s
67108864=2.0 GB/s
134217728=1.9 GB/s

I suspect you could increase the buffer size to 128K (or possibly even BLKRAGET
size?) without much of a problem...

...well, I guess it could be more of a problem if you put 128K on the stack.
