How big was your blocks.db partition for each OSD and what size are your HDDs? Also how full is your cluster? It's possible that your blocks.db partition wasn't large enough to hold the entire db and it had to spill over onto the HDD which would definitely impact performance.

Historically bluestore does pretty well for us with small random writes
so your write results surprise me a bit. I suspect it's the low queue
depth. Sometimes bluestore does worse with reads, especially if
readahead isn't enabled on the client.

Given the small file size, I'd expect that you might be getting better journal coalescing in filestore.
