a test file nearly twice the size of the RAM in the system to get round this.
I am delighted by the performance increase, but the results do not make sense.
It would be interesting for you to track iostat (i.e. run "iostat 1")
with and without modified vfs.read_max and see if there's a difference.
In a similar experiment, you could watch gstat (also before and after)
and see if it reports the difference.
