> The "default"/"suggested" {{concurrent_reads}} value is much too low. It
> assumes that CPU will be the bottleneck, rather than IO, and for most
> deployments, this will not be the case. Additionally it is better to be
> queued for IO in the kernel or on your device than in user space, because the
> former work to optimize queue order.
> Additionally, reads are much cheaper than writes in terms of CPU time (since
> writes can experience contention due to retries), so while
> {{concurrent_writes}} should probably factor in the number of cores on the
> machine, {{concurrent_reads}} should probably be calculated purely by number
> of spindles.
