right now this is an external iscsi Nexentastor. Locally i can't get 
this bandwith nor these iops to test.

guest uses noop right now. Disk Host is nexentastor running open 
solaris. I use libiscsi right now so the disks are not visible in both 
cases (virtio-blk and virtio-scsi) to the host right now.

Which command of perf? Just perf top?
