I agree, which is why I haven't actually turned it on yet.
But a runtime sysfs attr for it should allow us to benchmark
things, and see if it really helps or not under various loads.

Yeah, if coalescing turns out to be a win under hight load,
then a generic strategy like that would be a great feature.
