We are experimenting with moving our (almost) read-only data base from a 4K block size to a 64K block size.  

Tests have shown that on large tables there is a slight gain here but when a large table on a 64k volume is joined to a 4k block smaller table there is a penalty approaching 100% against performance.  

Any other feedback on this would be useful.
