The time spent searching for things to write back "counts" for the actual rate achieved, so don't flush the accumulated rate with each chunk. This will maintain better fidelity to user-commanded rates, but it may slightly increase the burstiness of writeback. The writeback lock needs improvement to help mitigate this.
