Hi,
I don't have so big latencies:
# time cat 50bytesfile > /dev/null
real 0m0,002s
user 0m0,001s
sys 0m0,000s
(It's on an ceph ssd cluster (mimic), kernel cephfs client (4.18), 10GB network with small latency too, client/server have 3ghz cpus)

Each file access on client side requires the acquisition of a
corresponding locking entity ('file capability') from the MDS. This adds
an extra network round trip to the MDS. In the worst case the MDS needs
to request a capability release from another client which still holds
the cap (e.g. file is still in page cache), adding another extra network
round trip.
CephFS is not NFS, and has a strong consistency model. This comes at a
price.
