Turns out I didn't need to add instrumentation. Simply forcing nbdcopy to use at most 1 request per connection (-R 1) recovers all the performance. $ time ./nbdkit -r -U - curl file:/var/tmp/big --run 'nbdcopy --no-extents -R 1 -p "$uri" null:' I still have no good idea how to solve this. Somehow I had to adjust the libcurl handle pool so that it isn't first-come first-served, but prefers to spread available handles across connections.
