Ah, I see the disconnect. I was assuming the Win RDR was chopping
up large IO sizes into 1MB chunks, and a registry entry was needed
to stop it doing that.

You're saying this is completely driven by the calling application,
and the write sizes passed down to the RDR are kept (unless they're
greater than 8MB, in which case they're split up).

I don't write Win32 code anymore, so someone who does will need
to check :-).
