Recovery is slow because we don't want recovery process saturate the
network. Serving in-flight IO during recovery is preferred over
recovery. I think with this strategy, VMs will feel more smooth disk IO
during recovery process. Also, there is always conflict between data
balance and minimal data migration. We prefer data balance, so this
preference will result in more data migration than necessary.
