Thanks to Alan and John Francini (explanation below)

The implementation controls it. AdvFS does
most everything in the file system page size, which is
8 KB. I think the UFS directory is defined as being
allocated in 512 byte blocks, so that's the size it
uses. Take a look at /usr/include/sys/dir.h, keeping
in mind that DEV_BSIZE is generally 512 bytes.

The minimum allocation size of disk space in AdvFS is
8K, which corresponds nicely with the Alpha memory
page size. Consequently, directories are always some
multiple of 8K in size.
