Minor correction (only to the item above, the rest still stands),
restarting the `afsd` cache on the server itself (thus over
`loopback`), I once again am able to max-out the disks (read only).
(For some reason this wasn't the case in the previous test...)  (It's
not the benchmark, as I read large ~20MiB files with 16 concurrent
readers, and the same command was used in both test-cases.)
