btrfs-progs: send: increase size of transfer buffer
4K is quite small, increase it to 64K. This reduces number of context switches and calls to read. Kernel sends us about 50K of data per read, so increasing the buffer further does not make any improvement. Example run on tests/cli-tests/004-send-parent-multi-subvol: 4K: - ~800 context switches - ~5000 calls to read 64K: - ~450 context switches - ~500 calls to read Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com>
