gmirror + ggated question

 I built a mirror of a local drive and a ggated backed device. I ran 
iozone on it
and it runs along fine until a certain point when it slows down to a 
near stand
still. It doesn't break the mirror or crash the system, but it does slow 
the system
down to a near stop.
 I kill the iozone, and a short time later I can login and then :

# df

         Name    Status  Components
mirror/thinkc  COMPLETE  ad0
                         ggate0

 And all seems normal again. Seems like it has to do with big files ...
This is the same configuration I used in :
http://bsdtips.utcorp.net/mediawiki/index.php/Mirroring_over_network
 This is where the iozone gets stuck :
