I don't know of any way to speed this up, maybe someone else could chime in
here that knows the heal daemon better than me.  Maybe you could open an RFE on
this?  In my testing I only see 2 files getting healed at a time per replica
pair.  I would like to see this be multi threaded(if its not already) with the
ability to tune it to control resource usage(similar to what we did in the
rebalance refactoring done recently).  If you let me know the BZ # I'll add
my data + suggestions, I have been testing this pretty extensively in recent
weeks and good data + some ideas on how to speed things up.

in here that knows the heal daemon better than me.  Maybe you could open an
RFE on this?  In my testing I only see 2 files getting healed at a time per
replica pair.  I would like to see this be multi threaded(if its not

Good news is we already have a WIP patch review.glusterd.org/10851 to
introduce multi threaded shd. Credits to Richard/Shreyas from facebook for
this. IIRC, we also have a BZ for the same but the patch is in rfc as of
now. AFAIK, this is a candidate to land in 3.8 as well, Vijay can correct
me otherwise.
