Any idea's on "why" the create and mkdir is slower?

Wondering if it's a case of underlying filesystem parameters (for the bricks)
+ maybe physical storage structure having become badly optimised over time.
eg if its on spinning rust, not ssd, and sector placement is now bad

Any idea if there are tools that can analyse this kind of thing?  eg meta
data placement / fragmentation / on a drive for XFS/ext4
