Does the elevator still favor blocks that are on the outside of the platter
over all others? If so, I think this should be removed in favor of a
timeout just like the other seek requests...
I've been able to put a swap partition on the outside of my drive, and get
utterly abizmal performance, while on another similar system, with swap on
the inside of the drive performance was much better during a swap storm...
