We use the 10th percentile of all dump/compaction write rate
observations when estimating the dump bandwidth. That is, if
a dump task is ever run in parallel with other dump tasks or
compaction, we will take this into account. This might be not
perfect, but it works well in practice. Anyways, we can tune
that later if we find such an algorithm unsatisfactory.
