Hm, but what's the alternative here? Readahead seems somewhat
attractive, if difficult (I worry about blocking reads and timing
sensitive file systems). But there's one problem I can't resolve - how
do you know what offset to Tread without consulting the previous
Rread's count?
Actually, I understand there has been discussion about grouping tags
to allow for things like Twalk/Topen batching without waiting for
Rwalk (which sounds like a great idea), maybe that would work here
also...
