You should probably test that assumption.


I want to, but it's hard to make an artificial test for this. You need to have a dataset that's larger than available ram and a read queue that follows real life access patterns but also uses different enough data to force disk reads to happen.

If the theory checked out I would go ahead and implement it - but the theory says it would be slower.
