Sure, zero-copying cache support is well possible for SCST and hopefully will be available soon. The performance (throughput) improvement will depend from used hardware and data access pattern, but the upper bound estimation can be made knowing memory copy throughput on your system (1.6GB/s according to your measurements). For 10Gbps link with 0.9GB/s wire speed it should be up to 30%, for 20Gbps link with wire speed 1.5GB/s (PCI-E 8x limitation) - something up to 70-80%.
