It's very strange that you don't see a perf improvement when you increase the number of nodes. Nothing in what you've done change the performances at the end?
You may want to check: - the number of regions for this table. Are all the region server busy? Do you have some split on the table? - How much data you actually write. Is the compression enabled on this table? - Do you have compactions? You may want to change the max store file settings for unfrequent write load (see http://gbif.blogspot.fr/2012/07/optimizing-writes-in-hbase.html). It would be interesting to test as well the 0.96 release.
