'-bi' - SET INPUT BUFFER SIZE

This option sets LZX's input buffer size.  The input buffer size affects
decompression only.

The input buffer size determines the amount of compressed data which LZX will
read from disk at one time.  For example, if the input buffer size were 8K,
then LZX would read compressed data from disk 8K at a time.

Larger buffer sizes yield faster performance, but require more memory.  The
default buffer size is 64K, which is quite sufficient for almost all systems.
Users with exceptionally fast CPU's and hard drives may wish to increase the
buffer size further, while users with much slower CPU's and hard drives can
probably lower the buffer size without significantly affecting performance.
