That data is very interesting and welcome, however it would be a lot more
relevant if it included information about your setup (though it is
relatively easy to create a Ceph cluster than can saturate GbE ^.^) and
your configuration. 

For example I assume you're using the native QEMU RBD interface.
How did you configure caching, just turned it on and left it at the
default values?

Given the feedback I got from my "Sanity Check" mail, I'm even more
interested in the actual setup you're using now.
Given your workplace, I expect to be impressed. ^o^
