Subject: [bitcoindev] How was the average size of blk*.data chosen?

I notice that the Bitcoin database is stored sequentially in blk*.dat 
files, with an average size between 128 to 134MB. I would like to know how 
this average size is determined and if there are any tests that demonstrate 
this size is the most efficient.
