I'm sorry to say this, but I think I/O throttling is impossible to save.
As it is implemented now, it just cannot work in the presence of
synchronous I/O, except at the cost of busy waiting with the global
mutex taken. See the message from Stefan yesterday.
Unfortunately I don't have any solution for this, except perhaps
disabling throttling around synchronous I/O.
