Did you just do something akin to s/read/aio_read/ etc., or something
more ambitious? I think that really taking advantage of the ability to
have multiple I/O requests outstanding would take some leg work.

At least according to [1], kernel AIO on Linux still doesn't work for
buffered (i.e. non-O_DIRECT) files. There have been patches available
for quite some time that implement this, but I'm not sure when they are
likely to get into the mainline kernel.
