--------------------------+-----------------------------
 Variable $chunk_size is used to restrict RAM usage to parse xml-rpc
 response message if the message is very large.
 This variable value has been hard coded to 262144 (256 Kb). A filter
 should be provided for setting value of this variable.

 It has following advantages.

 1. If message is large around 4-5 Mb, then getResponse() method of
 IXR_Client returns null, we can avoid this situation by setting
 $chunk_size to higher value.

 2. If server configuration is well versed, for example: If we have 32 GB
 RAM on server then allotting 5-8 Mb to $chunk_size should not be an issue
 and for the same filter can be used.
