    Since when is that so? Or where? W11 essentially “pauses” when there are lots of small files after bigger ones with >1000 MiB/s since those only reach perhaps 100 MiB/s.

      Since forever. I can’t say for windows since I haven’t used it in forever but almost all sensible algorithms take it in consideration. There are also many factors, such as what filesystem (ext4…) you use. You can’t account for them all. Usually you simply add a small “overhead” constant per file, so smaller files get that many times while big ones only get it once.
