Dave, I was wondering, given the optimisations you discussed in the talk, where there's now lots of merging and reordering going on before sending things to the i/o scheduler, do you still expect much performance improvements from these hardware caches? (Or - that's of course the hidden question here - should we from now on happily disable them, at least for most use cases?) Thanks.
