For some reason recent kernels (2.6.25.4, for example) have lost a lot
of resolution in our blktrace times. This can result in lots of things
happening "simultaneously." This change at least tries to handle the
case where all the seeks happen at once.
Probably have other issues that need to be looked into...
[[Jens: I've pushed this, so you don't need to apply this, but I'm
wondering have others seen this? I'm seeing 0.01 - which I think means
we're gated by HZ (set to 100 on this .config, I'm trying w/ HZ=1000 to
check this theory). A /lot/ happens in 1/100th of a second on modern
computers! :-) ]]
