Well probabely the attached patch will win back the last 30%. May I ask
you again to verify this, and to post your results to the list.

max-epoch-size does not have any effect on resync performace.
max-buffers should be at least 2048 for such performant hardware I think.
It might be a good idea to have max-epoch-size smaller than max-buffers,
to achive best mirroring (cs = connected) performance.

~80MB/sec on device
~40MB/sec mirrored via DRBD.
Ever tested the performance of the interconnect ? Jumbo Frames ?
PS: The previous patch already made it into SVN, so this one stack upon
the patch posted by Lars.
