-This enables the user to disable the lookup logic involved with IO merging

-1-hit cache, since that comes for (almost) free. The IO scheduler will not

+This enables the user to disable the lookup logic involved with IO

+set to 2 no merge algorithms will be tried (including one-hit or more
+complex tree/hash lookups).
