the below results are the averages of the times returned by dd
if=/dev/zero of=test bs=512M count=2 5 times

7.607s 134.6 MiB/s      raid5 + lvm + ext3
29.69s 34.5 MiB/s       raid5 + lvm + drbd + ext3
36.28s 28.2 MiB/s       raid5 + lvm + kvm + ext3
80.05s 12.8 MiB/s       raid5 + lvm + drbd + kvm + ext3

which leads me to believe the major cause here is that drbd and kvm
are not working well together, I'm not suprised by the major
performance drop off when adding drbd, however I am moderately
surprised by seeing the same thing when adding kvm.  KVM-84 was used
in the tests

As a note the last test using both drbd and kvm resulted in a response
"Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = 4691311571 ns)", making me wonder
if the timings were negatively affect by clock skew maybe?
