	// together. On a spinning disk, locality reduces the amount of movement of
	// the head hence speeding up IO operations. On an SSD there are no moving
	// parts but locality increases the size of each transer request. Hence,
	// having mutual exclusion on the read seeker while reading a file *should*
	// help in achieving the intended performance gains.
	//
	// Note: This synchronization was not coupled with the ReadSeeker itself
	// because we want to synchronize across read/seek operations for the
	// performance gains mentioned above. Helps enforcing one-file-at-a-time IO.
