Sorry but you lost me on any point you might have brought across since
after this I feel like you were trying to put words in my mouth.

Beside, if you really want to go down that road you should be counting
that beside ReiserFS with tail, I don't remember any other Linux FS that
has block smaller than 512bytes, which means that each file in metadata
cache is taking up much more than just its size in characters.

All your math is thus wrong.
