Previously, when we loaded the next version of the table, we would block all reads with a write lock. Now, we only do that if `read_consistency_interval=0`. Otherwise, we load the next version asynchronously in the background. This should mean that `read_consistency_interval > 0` won't have a meaningful impact on latency. Along with this change, I felt it was safe to change the default consistency interval to 5 seconds. The current default is `None`, which means we will **never** check for a new version by default. I think that default is contrary to most users expectations.
