Maybe this deserves a FAQ entry or doc note somewhere.

While not an FAQ (yet?) I find it interesting that installing a QoS packet
scheduler would _improve_ response - (I'm assuming there's no other
concurrent traffic other than DB traffic).

Anyone know why this would be the case or have any ideas? Might it improve
performance for other network software as well...
