I just did some tests with tagging totally disabled, enabled, and with
only 2 tags. This is long. Sorry in advance for the messy wrapping.
Hopefully everybody can parse it...

By these measurements, completely turning off tagging helped certain
write scenarios and hurt others. You'll notice, however, 2 tags
gained almost as much performance increase as disabling them totally,
and didn't hurt the other scenarios as much. 2 tags may not be
be the optimal selection... its just a starting point that I used,
after noticing some Seagate drives had similar quirks.
