The things that have made the most difference (ie going from 2-3ms down to 600us are:-

- Fast cores (using Xeon E3 running at 3.6Ghz)
- Which are also single socket so no NUMA to worry about
- NVME journals (get significantly lower device write latency vs SSD)
- Fix CPU freq at 3.6Ghz
- Set max c-state to C1

Most of the OSD tuning is probably more for high concurrency or throughput, it seems to have less of an effect vs the above. Of course those CPU tunings do increase power usage, so I'm looking at ways to find the best balance.

I think RBD cache is enabled by default, you can check via the admin socket
