I think he's just wondering why the drbd device reports near 100% utilization while the underlying physical device seems much less utilized. I've been wondering about that for a long time, too. But I found that the "utilization" (as reported by iostat) for drbd devices is rather meaningless, it will be near 100% no matter if there is little or lots of data going through, and that does not mean it is actually "maxed out". So I decided to just disregard it and only look at the utilization of the underlying physical devices. Yet, it would be nice if the "utilization percentage" reported for drbd device was meaningful.
