My apologies, I found out that I was doing it wrong for comparing write tests. They were actually all direct I/O, 5% difference is due to benchmark variation at the time of tests.

Here are the re-run (3 times, each time for 90 seconds) for 64k write. This time, Linux client, Windows server and 40G IB switch are rebooted prior to tests.

direct I/O

64k write d16
470m/s
616m/s
479m/s

64k write d1
176m/s
160m/s
156m/s


without direct I/O

64k write d16
534m/s
405m/s
406m/s

64k write d1
146m/s
147m/s
147m/s

I'm not sure why test results at depth 16 are jumpy, but overall there are improvements in direct I/O for 64k writes.
