For the case of reading from Glusterfs mount, read-ahead should help.
However, we've known issues with read-ahead[1][2]. To work around these,
can you try with,

1. Turn off performance.open-behind
#gluster volume set <volname> performance.open-behind off

2. enable group meta metadata-cache
# gluster volume set <volname> group metadata-cache
