I'm curious what sort of VM configuration causes such high overheads,
is this when using highly tuned virt devices with very large buffers?

For what it's worth we ran into issues a couple years back with I/O to RDB-backed disks in writethrough/writeback. There was a bug that allowed a very large number of in-flight operations if the ceph server couldn't keep up with the aggregate load. We hacked a local solution, I'm not sure if it's been dealt with upstream.

I think virtio networking has also caused issues, though not as bad. (But noticeable when running close to the line.)
