--------------
When I try and turn on profiling, I get:
[root@ovirt2 ~]# gluster volume profile data-hdd start
Another transaction is in progress for data-hdd. Please try again after
sometime.
I don't know what that other transaction is, but I am having some "odd
behavior" this morning, like a vm disk move between data and data-hdd that
stuck at 84% overnight.
I've been asking on IRC how to "un-stick" this transfer, as the VM cannot
be started, and I can't seem to do anything about it.

Can you provide the info of the volume using "gluster volume info" and
also profile the volume while running the tests where you experience the
performance issue, and share results?
For info on how to profile (server-side profiling) -
