I don't think that those could explain it.
Try it and see. The anticipatory I/O scheduler does horrible things to
my IDE streaming performance numbers and to swap performance. It tries
to merge I/O by delaying it which is deeply ungood when it comes to IDE
streaming even if its good for general I/O.
Sure it has regression cases here and there, as you would expect.
But I'm fairly sure this won't be one of them. If there is just a
single process submitting the IO the anticipatory scheduler should
completely turn of any delays, and degenerate basically to the
deadline scheduler.
