I have seen you stating this before about some quarter GiB filesize or
so, but it is irrelevant, it is simply not how it works. See
explanation of Hugo for how it works. I can post/store an actual
filefrag output of a vm image that is around for 2 years on the one of
my btrfs fs, then you can do some statistics on it and see from there
how it works.
