Traditionally, yes.
Also note that none of this is about "throughput". It's about waiting
for a second or two when you do a simple "git commit" or similar.
Also, hardware has changed. I haven't used a rotational disk in about
10 years now, and I don't worry about latencies so much more.
The fact that you get ~100k iops indicates that you probably aren't
using those stupid platters of rust either. So I doubt you can even
trigger the bad cases.
