The elephant in the room here is why an 80M completion takes 100 msec?
That seems... insane.

That aside, doing writes that big isn't great for latencies in general,
even if they are orders of magnitude smaller (as they should be). Maybe
this is solvable by just limiting the write size here.

But it really seems out of line for a write that size to take 100 msec
to process.
