If it's doing lots of directory traversal/stat (e.g. find, du, ls -R /mount/path etc.) then it's going to be hammering the disks reading in piles of metadata. If the nodes have a reasonable amount of RAM this'll all end up cached, making later accesses faster. If I run a find over one of my large data file systems immediately after mounting it'll take an order of magnitude or two longer than the same operation run against the same file system after a few hours of "normal use". If you're just reading in data files (and they fit into RAM), then you might just be seeing the effects of the page cache.
