`max_sleep` to a *lower* value and setting `max_io` to a *higher* value would make heal go faster.

Each node is responsible of healing its local drives; Each drive will have multiple heal workers which is the quarter of the number of CPU cores of the node or the quarter of the configured nr_requests of the drive (https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/block/queue-sysfs.txt). It is also possible to provide a custom number of workers by using this command: `mc admin config set alias/ heal...

streaming compression due to its stability and performance.

This algorithm is specifically optimized for machine generated content.
Write throughput is typically at least 500MB/s per CPU core,
and scales with the number of available CPU cores.
Decompression speed is typically at least 1GB/s.

This means that in cases where raw IO is below these numbers
compression will not only reduce disk usage but also help increase system throughput.
