I did very similar test a few years back and came up with very similar results:

effective_io_concurrency is an oft overlooked tuning parameter and I'm
curious if the underlying facility (posix_fadvise) can't be used for
more types of queries.  For ssd storage, which is increasingly common
these days, it really pays of to crank it with few downsides from my
measurement.
