Unfortunately he failed to understand my point. Obviously I was not talking
about simply _supplying_ more switches, I talked about _spreading_ the network
over several switches. This means you take a client that has at least two GBit
Ports and connect your two gluster servers (bricks) to one each. Obviously you
can do the same with a bigger number of bricks, it only depends on the number
of interfaces your client has. This means contention is not possible by
accessing several bricks "at the same time" in a replication setup.

But as told before, the problem of bad performance did not go away for us.
