Currently, there's a single promotion thread and a single demotion thread serving every tier volume. The individual threads iterate over the bricks every pass. This can be improved in performance by assigning multiple promotion and demotion threads to a single brick. Different bricks can independently promote heated files as well as demote cooler files quicker to make space for new heated files.
