This is to be expected. The kernel interface is very suboptimal and
performs generally "just OK". "cp" particularly fares very poorly on
pvfs (that's why there's pvfs2-cp...). It works well enough to be used
in production, even with samba/nfs shares for instance. It works really
well for FTP (and big files).

I fancy someday to see how the pvfs2 kernel module could be enhanced,
however I'm missing both the ability and time ATM :)
