I tried your test and got quite variable results but did not see a drop:

CQ
                    4K           8K            16K
Random Write    10,374 KB/s   9,669 KB/s    10,712 KB/s


Non-CQ
                    4K           8K            16K
Random Write     9,898 KB/s   8,747 KB/s     9,098 KB/s


But given the variability of results I would not conclude CQ was faster.

I would suggest you run more tests and see if the trend continues.
