Yes, setting this also on a datastore level for global defaults make a 
lot of sense indeed. Would allow to run regular verification's (e.g. 
immediate verification after backup) with these global defaults and 
maybe dial up the number of reads/verifies for a monthly full datastore 
verification job, running at a time where there is not much other CPU 
and IO load.

Although I'm not sure if we should place these in the tuning options, 
they are a bit crowded already. We could add dedicated 
`worker-thread-settings` to the datastore config instead? That is, if we 
commit to having these kind of knobs exposed for other workers (e.g. 
tape) as well.

What's your opinion on that?
