Hello,

Firstly, this is clearly a ceph-users question, don't cross post to
ceph-devel.

Details. All of them.
Specific HW (CPU, RAM, etc.) of these servers and the network, what type of
SSDs, HDDs, controllers.

Is the HW identical to pool1 except for the journal placement?

Now this job will stress the CPUs quite a bit (which you should be able to
see with atop or the likes). 

However if the HW is identical in both pools your SSD may be one of those
that perform abysmal with direct IO.

There are plenty of threads in the ML archives about this topic.
