From the docs:

> ZeroFS fetches object data in 128 KiB parts

Read/write operations in object storage are _far more_ expensive than stored bytes. I'm always afraid of anything that abstracts over S3/GCS access specifically for that reason.

One of the reasons why ZeroFS seems interesting is they use SlateDB under the hood, which optimizes the requests that hit S3 behind the scenes.
Especially that the “one fetch” is who knows how many reads and retries under the hood.
