I've initially disabled power-saving features, which nicely improved the
network latency.

Btw, the first interesting find: I enabled 'rbd_balance_parent_reads' on
the clients, and single-thread reads now scale much better, I routinely get
similar readings from a single disk doing 4k reads with 1 thread:

Run status group 0 (all jobs):
   READ: bw=323MiB/s (339MB/s), 323MiB/s-323MiB/s (339MB/s-339MB/s),
io=18.9GiB (20.3GB), run=60001-60001msec
Disk stats (read/write):
  vdc: ios=77451/0, merge=0/0, ticks=80269/0, in_queue=19964, util=97.94%

No more 50 MB/s reads, yay! :-)

The option, which I found in Redhat's docs, suggests that "Ceph typically
reads objects from the primary OSD. Since reads are immutable, you may
enable this feature to balance parent reads between the primary OSD and the
replicas."
