I've remounted everything with async option and noticed significant 
performance improvement. Apparently you're right. "sync" is _not_ the 
way to go with DRBD. "async" is.

The loadavg dropped to the manageable range of 2-4 when using both 
protocols B and C and I'm pretty happy with the setup now.

Thanks for the help!
