I also think the larger latencies observed in volume operations could be related to the the set of fsync()s involved in making configuration state durable in glusterd's store. It would be interesting to see if we can use a ramdisk for /var/lib/glusterd and check if the latencies would improve.

This data is true for non clustered tests too. I am suspecting address resolution.
Rafi had suggested we use IP addresses instead of host names for HOST variables.
