Yes, I understand. But when running with one MDS it goes just fine, when
running with 2 Active MDS the performance gets a serious hit.

A create() is send to the MDS with rank 0 and a rename() for the same
file to rank 1.

That causes a massive slowdown where the rename sometimes takes up to 10
seconds.

So it seems to be something like balancing between the two MDS.
