I have always wondered why the default for the rsize and wsize has not been set to 8192 now? I remember the limits for the 1k block sizes were there when Linux couldn't allocate buffers bigger than some limit I don't remember right now (4096 bytes - headers?). This restriction went away with the new kmalloc code (written by Alex Bligh?).
