There are some tuning hints in this post:

although mostly focussed on read performance.

I don't know why your write performance is so slow. But to narrow it down, I
suggest the following:

- Create a single-node volume (non-replicated, non-distributed)
  a. Time writing to it via a glusterfs mount on the same node
  b. Time writing to it via a glusterfs mount from a different node

If both are fast: then retest using a two-node replicated volume.

If a is fast but b is slow: investigate your gigabit network

If both are slow: try writing to your RAID1 volume locally

A sparse file, right? So another useful test would be a 4.5G regular file.
