Wow, 100 req/s is pretty low. Is this load stable or does it vary a lot during the test ? Do you have conntrack loaded on the LB ? Is the LB a real or virtual machine ? Are you observing a high CPU or network usage anywhere in the chain ? If you remove one of your servers, does the throughput remain the same or does it drop by half ? The only thing I'm seeing that is wrong in your config is that you should remove the "option httpclose" statement in the defaults section and in the backend section, but I'm pretty sure that at such a low load, it won't make any difference.
