[Gluster-users] Newbie questions

[Christopher Hawkins]

I don't recall the numbers, but when I did that reads were about as fast as regular local reads. Also if the post below refers to an older version of glusterfs, then things might have changed a lot since then. The quick-read translator combined with 3.x version was supposed to help a lot for this situation and it's a relatively recent addition to the project.
