Usually 4k or 8k is the fastest, in my experience. That is why in

Of course, this assumes that you'll need to transmit that much data at
once. You'll notice that both of the above (Samba and NFS) are dealing
with file transfer.
Actually, both Samba and NFS deal with file operations, not file
transfer. They are essentially (as I understand things) working at the
block level.
For "stream" transfers, such as FTP or HTTP, buffering is a much more
delicate deal. There is no "one size will work for all" strategy.
