Yes, I know, but its not relevant to a single-threaded process since its
logic generally requires it to wait for a read or write to complete
before it continues[1]. Hence my comment that this prevents head movement
being optimized unless a lot of processes are active because there's only
one outstanding IOP per process.
[1] unless you're deliberately doing async i/o using poll() or
select() (in C) or nio (in Java), in which case the process is often
best regarded as a half-way house between single and multi-threaded
logic.
