Hi folks,

I've tried changing the syncer rate as you mentioned in the previous
post, but it hasn't changed the sync speed one bit (literally ;-). 

It seems like I'm running out of options fast, the old hardware we're
intending to replace does 44MB/sec write speed in similar setup, but
on much inferior hardware, so I'm hoping to achieve at least the same
speeds once we'll migrate to the new servers. 

For the record:
