You can try loading the following performance translators and see if it
helps:

* io-threads: load this just above your storage/posix translators on
  the servers

* read-ahead: if your applications mainly make sequential reads, loading
  this translator on the clients will increase throughput.

* write-behind: if your applications are write-intensive, loading this
  translator on the client side may help performance.
