I tried Fedora 25 (kernel 4.10.8-200.fc25.x86_64) with the kernel driver and it works great. Perhaps you're on to something with the kernel version. I didn't realize how far behind 16.04 was on this.
I will give upgrading Ubuntu 16.04 to a newer kernel the old college try. Thanks.

between runs to reset it? Have you tried running your procedure in
the reverse order (i.e. is the kernel client still slow when you're
running it after the fuse client)?I rebooted the machine and ran the same test.I just repeated the exercise by creating two completely different test files, one for each driver, and got the same results.The FUSE driver has never under any circumstances been as slow, though when I feed a lot of activity into it at once, it tends to get stuck on something and hang for a while, so it's not a solution for me unfortunately.

I don't know of any issues in the older kernel that you're running,
but you should be aware that 4.4 is over a year old and as far as I
know there is no backporting of cephfs stuff to the Ubuntu kernel, so
you're not getting the latest fixes.That could be related, but Ubuntu 16.04 is going to be around for a long time, so this is probably something that needs to get addressed (unless I'm literally the only person on the planet experiencing this bug, as it seems to be right now). I don't know how to get on a newer kernel than that (without potentially wrecking the distro).I was actually about to try 14.04 to see if it does the same thing. If it works I'll post an update.-Kyle
