since I can't actively work on it right now: I feel like the thing the escodb i/o scheduler does must be very similar to things that compilers, CPUs, and disk controllers do, i.e. rearrange a bunch of data accesses under some constraints to make them go faster. but I've no idea what to search for to find prior art I should be aware of. anyone know?
