I don't know, this kind of stuff is pretty use case dependent.  If
you're not using page cache for object data (the default), you might
want shuffling so you can support some concurrency.  If you use page
cache but have enough traffic to an object to bottleneck on some other
resource, you might want shuffling so you can balance the load.
