Description

From this XXX comment

And also at

It's time to consider the parallel dispatch.

Not only for IO operations, but also downstairs activation.
At the moment, things are performed serially and that can't be good for performance.

Research direction

Start by reading upstairs/src/volume.rs at lines 562 and 774, along with the linked blame and source context. Determine how IO operations and downstairs activation are currently dispatched serially; done means defining and implementing a parallel-dispatch approach for both areas, with performance implications understood.
