Hello, I don't have experience with your exact setup especially not with GlusterFS 1.3 but what you could try to increase performance is - Update to GlusterFS 2.0.2 - Use newest FUSE (and try GlusterFS patched FUSE) - Replace the Unify Translator by DHT - If possible put the files in some subfolders, that should increase performance when dirlisting I tried with 4 Servers unified with the DHT Translator and ~20000 files that were a bit smaller than yours and the performance was reasonable compared to a single NFS share.
