I did a benchmark against a /dev/shm device instead of an actual storage to get rid of any artifacts which are caused by the storage itself, and saw that while there was a nice improvement across the board, the hit against sequential read and write was quite significant. I ran the tests with fio running in KVM tool against a 2G file located in /dev/shm.
