Hi, Yes, I specifically wanted to make sure the disk part of the infrastructure didn't affect the results, the main aims were to reduce the end to end latency in the journals and Ceph code by utilising fast CPU's and NVME journals. SQL transaction logs are a good example where this low latency, low depth behaviour is required. There are also certain cases with direct io where even though you have high queue depths, you can still get contention at the PG depending on the IO/PG distribution. Getting latency low as possible also helps here as well, as the PG is effectively single threaded at some point.

If i understand correctly, this latency is measured while there is no overflow of the journal caused by long > sustained writes else you will start hitting the HDD latency.
