We have identified a performance drop with ctime and rename operations.
This is because ctime stores some metadata information as an extended
attributes which sometimes exceeds the default inode size. In such
scenarios the additional xattrs won't fit into the default size. This
will result in additional blocks to be used which will effect the latency.
Is it possible for you to repeat the test by disabling ctime or
increasing the inode size to a higher value say 1024?
