[dm-devel] Re: Do not overload dispatch queue (Was: Re: IO scheduler based IO controller V10)

[Mike Galbraith <efault gmx de>]

Wrong one.  Let's try the post java version instead.

8e29675: "implement slower async initiate and queue ramp up" introduced a
throughput regression for concurrent reader vs writer.  Adjusting async delay
to use cfq_slice_async restored throughput.
