exact git revision of sheepdog

filesystems on the nodes?

I/O scheduler in the guest and the host?

sheep git revision?  qemu release?


In general I doubt anyone has optimized sheepdog for iops and low
latency at this moment as other things have kept people.  There's
some relatively low hanging fruit like avoiding additional copies
in the gateway, but your numbers still sound very low.

Can you also do a perf record -g on both a storage node and the
kvm box to see if there's anything interesting on them?
