FWIW I think the new code is buggy because it doesn't seem to be setting
ws_off, so I suppose the optimization in ReadPageInternal to skip
reading the page when it's already the page we have is not hit, except
for the first page in the segment. I didn't verify this, just my
impression while reading the code.
