One of the interesting improvements to note with GNU Coreutils 9.5 is that the cp, mv, install, cat, and split commands can now read/write a minimum of 256KiB at a time.
Previously there was a 128KiB minimum while this has been doubled in order to enhance the throughput of Coreutils on modern systems.
The throughput with Coreutils 9.5 thanks to this change increases by 10~20% when reading cached files on modern systems.
This default I/O size update was last adjusted a decade ago.
GNU Coreutils 9.5 also has fixed various warnings when interacting with the CIFS file-system, join and uniq better handle multi-byte characters, tail no longer mishandles input from /proc and /sys file-systems, various new options for different commands, SELinux operations during file copy operations are now more efficient, and tail can now follow multiple processes via repeated “–pid” options.
