well, vblade was the server part and on my AoE client i only run the aoe
module, so i thought it would make no difference what "server" part i use
because i testet on the client side. The hardware had no problem servicing
with vblade. The problem was on the client side! My assumption was that also
a coraid product as server wouldn't do because the problem was on the client
side. But perhaps i'm wrong.

At this time qaoed wasn't an option, i tried it but it was worse than vblade!

OK, i don't doubt that, but i would test it myself :-D
For now, i don't have the need to test again because i'm very fine with iSCSI.
Also a lot of people are fine with AoE.

Especially the point that more than one AoE block devices had a bad impact on
performance for me i advice other people who need more than one AoE block
devices to test the performance. Hopefully this isn't the case anymore.
For a Xen setup where you have one block device per domU it is very important
to know how much block devices you can manage - so for me this isn't really
offtopic.
