I am not convinced this is the right thing to do. Perhaps sparse
allocation, or not, does not make a big difference, but prealloc does.
Big speed difference during win7 installations? or are you thinking of
another big difference? sparse/non-sparse allocation can make a big
difference on disk usage, which is a big diference as well imo.
I agree with you that erroring out is better, but I tend to prefer
consistency in cases like this.
