Hi Paul, Here's one idea: If you're going to write just once then read once after the writes are finished, then you could disable minor compactions whilst performing the writes. This will mean that all disk IO bandwidth will be available for writes. After you have finished writing, re-enable minor compactions and let compaction finish before doing your reads.
