If the behavior you are seeing is not a regression from the OpenAFS
Windows 1.6.0 client on your systems, then the performance limitation is
simply a design limitation of the current Windows cache manager
implementation.  The cache manager currently requires that all StoreData
operations be serialized which limits the number of simultaneous
StoreData RPCs on a file to 1.  Small chunksizes will result in poor
performance.   I use

  ChunkSize 23 (decimal)

which equates to 8MB per RPC.
