Sounds like one of the following could be happening:
1) RBD write caching doing the 37K IOPS, which will need to flush at some point which causes the drop.
2) Hardware performance drops over time.
You could be hitting hardware write cache on RAID or disk controllers.
Especially SSDs can have a performance drop after writing to them for a while due to either SSD housekeeping or caches filling up.
So always run benchmarks over longer periods to make sure you get the actual sustainable performance of your cluster.
