Joe asked me a very basic/obvious question: is block zeroing enabled? (block zeroing is enabled by default -- you have to know to disable it) If zeroing wasn't disabled that could explain some of the sizable performance differences. Please use/test the 'skip_block_zeroing' feature if you aren't already (also see the "Zeroing' section of the 'lvmthin' manpage).
