Description
Just out of curiosity, why are the cache entries uploaded in chunks of 32MB. Why not 64MB or 265MB?
Context: vcpkg plans to upload in chunks of 450MB, because something above 500(?) fails. https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg-tool/pull/1043

Research direction
Start by locating the cache upload implementation and the code or configuration that sets the 32MB chunk size. Compare that behavior with the limits described in the linked vcpkg-tool pull request, then document the rationale, applicable limits, and what would need to change to use a different size.
