At what point is the metadata larger than the actual file? | ||

Part of the joke is that, in this implementation, the metadata is guaranteed to be larger than the file: > Now, we all know that it can take a while to find a long sequence of digits in π, so for practical reasons, we should break the files up into smaller chunks that can be more readily found. > In this implementation, to maximise performance, we consider each individual byte of the file separately, and look it up in π. | ||

Half the time it should be larger, right? | ||
