Ok, that's good to know at least. It at least indicates that skips
accounted as scans are a contributory factor.

Apparently, isolating at least one page is not enough. Please try the
following. If it fails, please post the test script you're using. I can
simulate what you describe (mapped reads combined with lots of forks)
but no guarantee I'll get it exactly right. I think it's ok to not
account skips as scans because the skips are already accounted for.
