well, I don't think it would change anything, disk writes are not
cpu-bound but io-bound. It could not increase write speed as what really
counts here, is time waiting for io-completion. As it is some 1000
magnitude longer than memory write times, which are some 1000 magnitude
longer than cpu register accesses, I do not think it would change
anything on throughput, ever.
