You won't. Lustre's shining point is not that it's faster than NFS
given a single server and single disk, but rather that it scales
incredibly well.
Try adding more disks and (when you max out the bandwidth of that single
machine's disk or network -- whichever comes first) add a second (and
third and fourth, etc.) OSS. Then try some benchmarks.
When you have maxed out the network bandwidth between your client and
the Lustre servers, add a second and third, etc. clients and try a
collective benchmark across all of the clients.
This is where Lustre shines.
