I have tried some TCP/IP tuning to help utilize the faster network, but 
for the moment it is likely local disks limit the throughput to about 
230 MB/sec peak. The peaks now are the same as before, but now the total 
performance is better.

However, it may turn out that single TCP/IP session across 10Gbit 
network would not be able to achieve very high throughput. It may be 
beneficial to support multiple parallel TCP/IP connections between 
primary/slave in order to utilize faster networks.
