So that is what I did. Turns out it's not the (slow) cache at all, probably
not to your surprise. The reads are quit fast actually, compared to
kernel client it's ~ 8 ms slower, or ~ 40%. It looks like couple
of writes / updates to, at least a session file, are slow:

So, almost 3 seconds. Page is only served after this, and possibly, after
some cache files have been written. Note though that ceph-fuse is in
debug=20 mode. Apparently the kernel client is _much_ faster in writing
than ceph-fuse. If I write a file with "dd" (from /dev/urandom) it's in
the tens of milliseconds range, not seconds. atime / ctime changes are
handled in < 5 ms.
I wonder if tuning file-striping [1] with stripe units of 4KB would be
beneficial in this case.
