optimal message size in Kafka

Hi

Is there any study that shows why smaller size messages are optimal for
Kafka, and as size increases to 1MB and more, the throughput decreases ?
What are the design choices in Kafka that leads to this behavior.

Can any developer or committer share any insight  and point to the relevant
piece of code ?

Thanks
