Hello Stefan!

I see I could disable cache for storage, but I don't want to kill
fsck now just to test if it helps (and I guess it shouldn't make
such a difference).

Not for windows, but in general it is running quite fast, only the chkdsk
seems to be bad. In other VMs (linux), I'm achieving write speeds >40MB/s.
Storage configuration is a bit comples, it's DRBD replicated storage,
on top of it sits clustered LVM and KVMS use logical volumes on top of it.
but as I said, overall performance is OK.
