Both the db files & the entry data files currently use blocking I/O. Ideally the application solely uses non-blocking I/O, so these file accesses should also be non-blocking.

After some research, it seems that it isn't actually possible to set a regular file to non-blocking, as the kernel would stil need to block if data needs to be retrieved from the file system.

Perhaps we could add some manual caching to the LSM store that relegates this, but for the way this issue's currently phrased this isn't possible.
