I benchmarked iSCSI and NFS. You will notice the strangeness on NFS too:

http://xen.bot.nu/benchmarks/virtueel.html


Since NFS crashes my system if I do a benchmark that is larger than my
memory I guess the benchmark is done in memory (initially). Since the FC
results show better performance, could it be the offloading with multiple
processors?
