The problem is that write bandwidth varies widely depending on the
workload. For spinning rust, this will vary between maybe 64KBps
(512B random writes) and 100-150MBps (single-theaded large sequential
writes). The (low-end) SSD in my Netbook also has about 100:1 variance
due to erase blocking. How do you tune hirunningbufspace in the face
of 2 or 3 orders of magnitude variance in throughput? Especially since
SSDs don't gradually degrade - they hit a brick wall.
