What magic has the new parallel io manager done to improve performance?

I'm curious about the design and trade offs in IO manager, I can point out two changes that should boost performance:


1. Run an IO manager thread on each capability.
2. Use ONESHOT flag to save a system call.

I wonder is there anything else? It must be interesting.

Is there other interesting things to know?
Is it possible to use epoll's ET mode to save even more system calls?

 Andreas and Kazu (CCed) would know more. In addition to the things you mentioned then parallel I/O manager also uses lock striping and is smarter bout when it makes blocking system calls.
