Why do you want a 512 byte block file system anyway?

I just did an ls -l /usr/spool/news/comp/unix/sysv386 and I didn't see one
file less then 512 bytes long. Most (estimate 90%) were over 1024 bytes
long. Doesn't this mean 512 byte block buys you nothing?

Just wondering -- I'm no file system guru.
