Qingqing,


I am considering add an "ice-broker scan thread" to accelerate PostgreSQL
sequential scan IO speed. The basic idea of this thread is just like the
"read-ahead" method, but the difference is this one does not read the data 
into shared buffer pool directly, instead, it reads the data into file
system cache, which makes the integration easy and this is unique to
PostgreSQL.


You probably mean "ice-breaker" by the way :)
