bq. I'm not sure how are you doing that, can you elaborate? it's only possible 
to set POSIX_FADV_RANDOM when disk_access_mode is "standard" in yaml, by 
default we use we do mmap which requires us to do madvice for RANDOM instead of 
fadvice, so your slowdown is kind of expected there.

-Good point, this is exactly what I was doing.-

No, I was using fadvise, assuming the functions are correctly named. We use 
fadvise DONTNEED, and I simply used POSIX_FADV_RANDOM.

Sounds like we're agreeing with the other stuff already :-)

> The read takes a long time to ramp up to respectable speeds.
