Uh, that makes a nice 3818 IOPS with 161MB/s:
xvdb              3818,16    0,80 161449,90    35,13    84,57    10,75    
2,30   0,26  99,88
And even saw >4kIOPS an 180MB/s. Nice.

The tool gave me an idea:
lvchange -r 1024 /dev/all_my_lvm_stores

And this boots copy performance a lot: With the default "-r 128" I had 
around 10-30MB/s, now 30-100MB/s. Of course this depends on the type of 
access and so on, but at least during moving back all the data from the 
backup lvm to the re-created original lvm it's a drastic speedup.

So why was it so slow here?
As soon as moving back all data is finished, I can retry if search speed 
increased.
