Comment (by mikeperry):

 Jaym - how did you test this? And how large was this write discrepancy?

 It is surprising that it is reporting more written than read -- we made
 conservative assumptions about TLS overhead (we report as if there are
 always 2 cells written per TLS payload, which is the minimum possible
 written overhead) that should mean that the reported write totals are
 always <= the read totals.
