Most of our data servers are exporting data read-only via NFS. It helped
well on these but more on download servers which allowed us to go from
200k 4MB downloads per day to 1M/day while adding new files constantly.

I know, but these larger queues really helped a lot in re-ordering
requests to better match the hardware underneath - but again, this was
for hard drives with physical arms and not SSDs
