It seems to depend on the nature of the workload. Sometimes
wire speed, sometimes half that. And then:
1. some clients - many reads of small files, hardly any writes
2. others - many reads, loads of writes
3. same as {1,2} above, huge files
4. how many clients access at once
5. how many clients of [1] and [2] types access at the same time
looking for an all-in-one synthetic tester if there's such a thing.
Large single client transfers client to server are wire speed.
Not tested much else, (not sure how), except with dd but that's
not really a real-world workload. I'll try the things you suggested.
what I can report now, on the server, so before nfs is considered:
