    Ehmm... that large queue is a backlog of I/O requests. Since that's a
    function of the workload and the disk speed, you can't reduce it without
    either cutting the workload or speeding up the disk!

    I suspect we were talking at cross purposes here a little. I was NOT
    suggesting holding back requests to build up a big queue - I was talking
    about the situation where we have a large backlog of requests pending.
