Limiting the child buffer to 512k makes sense, at least in the cases
where n > 1 as by default the child allocates 32MB buffer, with 100
children that makes up to ~3GB. Also this really should have been in the
patch description, which should really describe why the changes have
been done.

But I'm not sure about the -s 5M part, the file size was always 128MB
before and reducing it to 5M sounds like too much. On my machine that
reduces the testing time from about one minute to a few seconds, that sounds
like change that is too radical without further explanation. If we want
to run the test with smaller file size I would go for 64M, that reduces
the runtime to half without reducing the changes for triggering a bug
too much.
