Is state size the real bottleneck to increasing throughput? If so, what parallelization get us?

state becomes larger, means state doesn't fit in memory, this means your iops go up and your performance degrades.

each disk has max iops it can handle, determined by your load

parallelization let's you fire more iops for the same load, so for large state parallelism is even more effective than when it fits in mem
