If so, then I suppose you read all the discussions here as well and not
only the somewhat lacking documentation?

Why?
And why all of it?

Define slow, but it has to do a LOT of work and housekeeping to do this,
so unless your cluster is very fast (probably not, or you wouldn't
want/need a cache tier) and idle, that's the way it is.

Not really, see above.

See above, WHY are you manually flushing/evicting?

Are you aware that flushing is the part that's very I/O intensive, while
evicting is a very low cost/impact operation?

In normal production, the various parameters that control this will do
fine, if properly configured of course.

Of course, as any good sysadmin with the correct tools (atop, iostat,
etc, graphing Ceph performance values with Grafana/Graphite) will be able
to see instantly.
