My interpretation was that their problem was latency, not I/O
throughput.  The program cooks along using 100% of the CPU, then it
needs to load a giant data set off the disk, so it has to wait (making
0% use of the CPU) while the I/O system does its job.  If they could
ensure that the dataset was in memory they could avoid this delay.
