Are you using linux for the initiator? If so, what is the throughput you get 
from just using this open-iscsi initiator connected to tgt with a ram disk?

I just installed RBD here for work, so let me check it out. What io tool are 
using and if it is something like fio could you post the arguments you used to 
run it?
