and the first thing that came to this noob's mind was: Wait, you mean
there's actually more than one? AND I get to choose?

I'll probably be experimenting with deadline and anticipatory since
the i/o wait seems to be due to the disk running back and fro trying
to serve the file scan as well as legit read request so having that
small wait for reads in the same area sounds like it would help.
