Just a note we initially tried to set up our storage network with bonded
4 port gig E connections per client and storage node and it was still
~1/3 the speed of infiniband. There also appears to be more overhead in
unwrapping data from packets even with jumbo frames set.
We did see about a 50% increase in throughput with 2 bonded gig ports,
but not double the speed that you would expect. Make sure you use a
trunking mechanism and not an active/passive configuration.

Is it worth bonding? This look like I'm maxing out the network

Yes, but you should also check out Infiniband.
