But it kind of did here, ended up being mostly a wash in terms of perf
here as my testing reported. With the incremental applied, it's up a bit

For this kind of testing, I just use t/io_uring out of fio. It's probably
the lowest overhead kind of tool:

# sudo taskset -c 0 t/io_uring -b512 -p1 /dev/nvme2n1
