As long as the latency is decreasing that's good.  But It's worth
keeping in mind that these percentages are probably wildly different
on real storage devices and/or qemu-kvm.  What we don't know here is
whether this bottleneck matters in real environments - results with
real storage and with qemu-kvm would be interesting.
