That's true, we were comparing your IDE drive results with my scsi for
reading a single big file.  It probably didn't help for the single big
file because of the page cache readahead triggering parallel tree
searches.

But Manuel's test is different, it's doing a long sequential read of
multiple files.  The page cache code only does readahead on one file at
a time, reading fileA won't trigger a parallel read of the indirect
items for fileB.  search_reada will work better in that case, since it
will grab indirect items for fileB.

Also, it will do readahead on the directory items, probably making
directory scanning faster.
