What exactly do you mean by changing the sector size? xfs sector size or physical block size of the rbd device? If the latter, meaning mkfs.xfs -s size 4096, I fail to see how it can result in the above numbers. If the former, you have to patch the kernel and I fail to see how it can result in such an improvement too. I probably didn't have enough coffee, please elaborate.
