Every time you open/close a file or a directory you will have to wait for
locks which take time. This is totally expected.

Why don't you share what you want to do? iozone benchmarks look like crap
but serving qcow2 files to qemu works fantastic for me. What are you doing?
Make a benchmark that does that. If you are going to have many files with a
wide variety of sizes glusterfs/fuse might not be what you are looking for.
