Hi Don,

I may just be re-stating common knowledge, but the available IOPS would
be constrained by how tightly coupled the storage is to the CPU. Even a
small increase can limit the maximum IOPS unless you can issue multiple
relatively independent queries at one. I know no details of how Azure
implements their storage tiers.

Ken
