In theory, it should be very close to the minimum of either the disk
speed and the network and the CPU power.
The network can deliver ~100MByte/s in your case, so it's unlikely to be
the bottleneck.
Now, most disks can't deliver read/write performance of 100mb/s, so
they'll likely be your limit.
Whether your not your are overloading your CPUs is hard to tell, I'd
recommend watching top for a while...
And syncer performance will go down if you are accessing the drives
concurrently.
And NFS is slow anyway ;-)
