I'm curious to hear what performance you end up seeing. We've got QDR
connectX 2 cards, and only seen ~2300 MB/s out of them, compared with ~3100
on linux with the same hardware. (this is even just the completely local bw
tests to the cards)

Our of curiosity, are you using ipoib or iSER? We've seen much better
performance with the latter, topping out around 1800 MB/s, compared with
~300 on ipoib without much tuning. (single clients, in both cases) We can't
hit the RDMA benchmark bandwidths with a single client, even though we have
sufficient spindles on the back end.
