Even your NFS transfers are 12.5 or so MB per second or less.
1) Did you use fdisk and LVM under that XFS filesystem?
2) Did you benchmark the XFS with something like bonnie++? (There's
probably newer benchmark suites now.)
3) Did you benchmark your Network transfer speeds? Perhaps your NIC
negotiated a lower speed.
3) I've done XFS tuning for another purpose but got good results. If it
helps, I can send you the doc.

Howdy all,
We're experiencing terrible small file performance when copying or
moving files on gluster clients.
In the example below, Gluster is taking 6mins~ to copy 128MB / 21,000
files sideways on a client, doing the same thing on NFS (which I know is
a totally different solution etc. etc.) takes approximately 10-15
seconds(!).
Any advice for tuning the volume or XFS settings would be greatly
appreciated.
Hopefully I've included enough relevant information below.

## Hosts
- 16x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2680 v4 @ 2.40GHz per Gluster host / client
- Storage: iSCSI provisioned (via 10Gbit DAC/Fibre), SSD disk, 50K R/RW
4k IOP/s, 400MB/s per Gluster host
- Volumes are replicated across two hosts and one arbiter only host
- Networking is 10Gbit DAC/Fibre between Gluster hosts and clients
- 18GB DDR4 ECC memory
