Do you have write-behind in the booster volfile?

Which release of GlusterFS?

With what wsize value are you mounting NFS server at the client?
Preferable size is 64KiB but I think Linux client default is 32KiB.

Use the -o wsize=65536 with the mount command to increase this value.

Please tell me the output of:
$ cat /proc/sys/sunrpc/tcp_slot_table_entries

The default is 16 on Linux. Try increasing this to say 64 first, and
then to 128. Do tell me if this increases the throughput.
