So what does "30% of all I/O" mean in that original statement? Does that
mean "30% of all IO requests from application to OS" or does that mean "30%
of all IO requests from OS to IO device"? I assumed you meant the second
because usually accessing data cached in memory isn't actually considered IO
by most people...
