Re:Mkfile(8) is severely syscall limited on OS X by masklinn on Sunday February 12, 2017 @08:26AM (#13628219)
That's actually written below the graph, rather than as a graph label

> X-Axis is buffer size in KB. The original 512 byte size isn't on there because it would be 0.5KB or the entire axis would need to be bytes, which would also be awkward at the larger sizes. Also note that the X-Axis is logarithmic.

Sorry, I should have mentioned that I added the comment after the parent's very valid point.

I don't understand that reasoning, 0.5 on a logarithmic base 2 scale would be the next step below 1 on the x axis (0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8), and the y axis already goes to zero anyway.
