Is there a real-life case in which this is hurting us? I fully follow the story on quirky perf profile of our storage, large eraseblocks, etc. But small async writes? > I don't see how this could bring Sugar down, please > provide more detail I mean that oddly-behaved activities can bring Sugar down -- not in writing their logs.
