I have researched and applied several tweaks to Gluster to improve performance but on the
vm side, depending on distribution, you can "tweak" the vm for better
performance on Gluster as well;
yum install tuned.noarch tuned-utils-systemtap.noarch tuned-utils.noarch tuned-gtk.noarch
-y
(GTK is for a gui if you have one.)
tuned-adm profile virtual-guest
Also, you can increase or decrease cache or swappiness on the host to fit your vm's,
for workstations or servers. My cache is set to 2048 MB cache and swappiness of 10.
Thanks for the help you have given me.

This helps RHEL and CentOS machines utilize glusterfs and actually speeds teh vm up.
I hope this will help someone. If you want the URL for the article, just ask.
