A real application scenario may be an application that has lots of threads 
that are streaming data through multiple different disk channels (that 
are able to transfer data simultanouesly. e.g. connected to different 
nodes in a NUMA system) into the same address space.

Something like the above is fairly typical for multimedia filters 
processing large amounts of data.
