The public subversion repository captures the development stream of what will 
become the next major version of VirtualBox. 3.2.10 is a maintenance update and 
typically only gets bugfixes and the like. We are considering to backport async 
iSCSI to 3.2 at some point but it's not in there.

If you compile trunk you get async iSCSI by default which can give you 
substantially higher throughput. So far we've mainly focused on running a large 
number of smaller VMs and thus did not want one single VM to cause any 
significant load on the storage server, thus synchronous iSCSI.
