Subject:   GEOM mirror performance - slow

I'm sorry about the double posting, I have switch e-mail clients and
hope that the text is now understandable.

While deploying 6.1-RELEASE I'm seeing slower than expected speed
using geom mirror.

Test 1.  Outside of GEOM I'm able to write to both aacd2 and
aacd3 concurrently and achieve between 41M =96 45M a second write
speeds. (around 75M a second if I run the commands separately)

Test 2. Inside a GEOM container but not mirrored (aacd2 =3D gm2,
aacd3 =3D gm3) I'm able to write to both gm2 and gm3 concurrently
and achieve between 40M =96 49M a second write speeds. (around 75M
a second if I run the commands separately)

Test 3. Inside a GEOM mirror (gm1 =3D aacd2 =3D aacd3) I'm able to
achieve 23M a second.

I'd love someones opinion as to if the speed I'm seeing using
GEOM mirror is to be expected.

FYI =96 The mirror was manually rebuilt and COMPLETE before tests
were attempted on the mirror.
