Especially with so many LV's? cLVM2 pretty much gets out of the way, except for the adminstrative/management tasks like adding/deleting/resizing LVs. It has almost no measurable impact on the IO latency/throughput of the LVs. It is more likely you're looking at a bandwidth/latency problem on the iSCSI side. Is the connection clogged? Server side overloaded? Network?
