Description
LDKBMWNG specifies an anticipatory write window that starts writes for any modified ATB (above the bar) buffers that enter the window.
When an anticipatory write for a modified buffer completes, the buffer is immediately reusable.
High values of LDKBMWNG might unnecessarily increase the number of writes done (measured by the DKWR statistic). Low values might cause excessive waiting for buffers (measured by the DKSWAIT statistic).
