On a large core, the time will obviously be shorter, but we cannot assume which core the IO will be completed on and the current CPU frequency... Limiting the IO size is also a method, but how large to limit it is a problem, and I am worried whether it will cause bandwidth loss in some scenarios? Thanks Zhang
