Mostly reads are being served from io-cache?

Perhaps ; it is worth noting that even though the operations are consistent, the data are being generated randomly. I concede that, statistically speaking, some of those 0's and 1's would be cached effectively, but this shouldn't account for a sudden ~ 50% increase in efficiency that, just as suddenly as it appears, disappears again.

While it is irresponsible to extrapolate based on three points, my newest test run with io-cache disabled has yielded 10m30s, 10m36s, and 10m34s so far...
