8.2: ISCSI: ISTGT a bit slow, I think

The only setting I changed was:

  QueueDepth 64

This was commented out (as I recall it). Other (global) settings
related to iscsi has been left at their default values. One LUN
example:

[LogicalUnit1]
  Comment "LogicalUnit1 Sample"
  TargetName disk1
  TargetAlias "Data Disk1"
  Mapping PortalGroup1 InitiatorGroup1
  AuthMethod CHAP
  AuthGroup AuthGroup1
  UseDigest Auto
  UnitType Disk
  QueueDepth 64
  LUN0 Storage /dev/zvol/data/iscsi/disk1 Auto
