But overhead in domU wouldn't be causing all of these reads. I am
doing a test with bs=64k now:
Device: rrqm/s wrqm/s r/s w/s rkB/s wkB/s avgrq-sz
avgqu-sz await svctm %util
sda 0.00 3258.20 964.00 54.00 3903.20 13652.80

sdb 0.00 3270.20 974.80 54.00 3940.80 13710.40

Yes.
I am using phy: disk backend. Should I be using something else?
