I noticed, when I've increased bufsize in libfuse and
FUSE_MAX_PAGES_PER_REQ in kernel I got better throughput.
To see the the difference you need to use fast target device, like
RAID or tmpfs.
Please see patches inline below.
I found that FUSE_MAX_PAGES_PER_REQ was set to 32, which is 128 KB for
4KB page many years ago:

31)#define FUSE_MAX_PAGES_PER_REQ 32

Questions:
Are there plans to alter FUSE_MAX_PAGES_PER_REQ?
I can add configuration of this parameter, what are requirements?
