I wonder how it performs against an NFS server with lots of files, especially one over a kinda-crappy connection. Putting an unreliable network service behind blocking POSIX syscalls is one of the main reasons NFS is a terrible design choice (as can be seen by anyone who's tried to ctrl+c any app that's reading from a broken NFS folder), but I wonder if io_uring mitigates the bad parts somewhat.
