+ * \brief Finds out the minimal reasonable chunk size for a filter chain
+ *
+ * This function helps determining the Uncompressed Sizes of the Blocks when
+ * doing multi-threaded encoding.
+ *
+ * When compressing a large file on a system having multiple CPUs or CPU
+ * cores, the file can be split into smaller chunks, that are compressed
+ * independently into separate Blocks in the same .lzma Stream.
+ *
+ * \return Minimum reasonable Uncompressed Size of a Block. The
+ * recommended minimum Uncompressed Size is between this value
+ * and the value times two.
+
+ Zero if the Uncompressed Sizes of Blocks don't matter
