This is a very good point. If small files waste 700 MB on my laptop's 80 GB hard drive, I could hardly care less. I have yet to see any filesystem properly implement a special-case for small files. It's always either unreliable or slow.
The government institution from the article that wants to store tons of 1KB files should probably use a database instead.
