There is only one dmeventd running - and lvm is spawning it only when it's not
available - and in fact spawning is not the right term if you use systemd 
enabled system (like Fedora)

Also so far you still have not show actually any 'real' numbers even when you 
run plain good old  'dd' command.

So what is the performance of 'dd'  reading 10G >/dev/null
or raw device,  dm origin, dm snapshot  (with  iflag=direct)

What is performance of write ?

What is the performance when 2 of them are running in parallel.

Also it's probably more easier to resolve this through #irc.
