Description

Performing multiple reads (to the read only parent and affected sub volume) adds latency. We should figure out how to improve the performance in the presence of a read only parent.

Research direction

The issue does not name any files, tests, or entry points. Begin by locating the volume read path and the handling of read-only parents, then establish a benchmark for reads involving both the parent and affected subvolume; done means reduced latency with coverage for the optimized behavior.
