Dear Gluster developers,
This is Hyunseung Park at Gluesys, South Korea.
We are trying to replicate the test in https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/issues/2771 but to no avail.
In our experiments, Gluster version 10 unfortunately did not perform noticably better than version 9.

The result above is from the test that deployed 32 threads on each of the 4 clients.
Some results were better than others, but it is not good enough when compared to the result in the aforementioned link.
We are wondering what we can do to get the full potential of the new version.
We have been running tests with varying file sizes, number of threads, different volume topology, etc. but we were not able to see data conclusive enough.
We were also not able to find meaningful output from running tests using other benchmark tools such as bonnie++ and FIO.
To find the potential cause we tried to look into the program by calling malloc_stats() and using perf.
However, we also could not find something noteworthy from the result.
Here is the data recorded during one set of smallfile test (from create to cleanup): https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1NMXNjgOZ7svDd4-YvKCU4UAp43tm15dC?usp=sharing
