yeah -- the thing is, we are already too spendy already on

vs write performance is becoming increasingly asymmetric, particularly
on the random side so it's very unlikely to balance out.
Guess I wasn't clear but I was thinking to read the page in, not do any writing, and do it in a asynchronous way to the process doing the evicting.
