Hi,

There is a number of tweaks/hacks to make it better, but IMHO overall 
performance with small files is still unacceptable for such folders with 
thousands of entries.

If your shares are not too large to be placed on single filesystem and you 
still want to use Gluster - it is possible to run VM on top of Gluster. Inside 
that VM you can create ZFS/NTFS to be shared.
