Heh, not sure :-)

But indeed, thanks for the testing. It looks quite interesting. I'm
guessing it probably has to do with who ends up doing the balancing and
that the flusher threads block, it may change the picture a bit. So it
may just be that it'll require a few vm tweaks. I'll definitely look
into it and try and reproduce your results.

Did you run it a 2nd time on each drive and check if the results were
(approximately) consistent on the two drives?
