Description

sanity: FAIL: test_255a Speedup with willread is less than XX%, got YY%

Test is expecting willreads to be faster than cache reads, but willreads are slower:

From test_log:

Iter 1/10: cache speedup: 228%
Iter 1/10: ladvise speedup: 24%

Iter 2/10: cache speedup: 147%
Iter 2/10: ladvise speedup: 20%

Iter 3/10: cache speedup: 170%
Iter 3/10: ladvise speedup: 10%

Related to LU-8565, but that issue was attributed to VM slowness. This issue is also seen on physical machines.
