Thank you for the info.
Currently I have 512MB RAM and 500MB SWAP in this box. I upped the size to
8GB, so 8 files a 1GB are created.
While the result for XFS is different, reading is actually faster, the
differnece between xfs and xfs on lvm is still there.
pvcreate was called so that the first PE starts exactly at 256K, no sunits
where used with mkfs.xfs for the lvm case.
I still do not understand the read output at all.

While it looks like that writing is actually pretty similar reading is
still way down.
Totally at loss here,
