I benchmarked the new block storage and it is not that faster than the virtio disk.

Um. Can you provide context? What virtio setup? How much faster? How are you accessing each? This is the reason benchmarks are often worse than useless.

can we see some more info on your benchmarks? what was the performance difference? Kind of need to backup your statement
