That makes the assumption my I/O would ever be remotely nearly 'idle', 
I've got 16 different things (distros mostly) on those disk, and I have 
a tendency to move 200 - 300mbps constant off those machines (with peaks 
up into the 1gbps range).  My I/O is never really 'idle', so I would 
fall hopelessly behind on syncing.
