Gluster users - Sep 2015 - Tuning for small files

Hi,

There are quite a few tuning parameters for Gluster (as seen in Gluster
volume XYZ get all), but I didn't find much documentation on those.
Some people do seem to set at least some of them, so the knowledge must be
somewhere...

Is there a good source of information to understand what they mean, and
recommendation on how to set them to get a good small file performance?

Basically what I'm trying to optimize is for svn operations (e.g. svn
checkout, or svn branch) on a replicated 2 x 1 volume (hosted on 2 VMs,
16GB ram, 4 cores each, 10Gb/s network tested at full speed), using a NFS
mount which appears much faster than fuse in this case (but still much
slower than when served by a normal NFS server).
Any recommendation for such a setup?

Thanks,
Thibault.

If you're not already on Glusterfs 3.7.x i would recommend an update first.
