Just to eliminate possible causes, can you please list the kernel
version and the ceph version you are using?
Can you show us your config file, and any logs that were written?

Anything you see in src/common/config.cc as OPTION(...) is editable
via the config file, you don't need to change the source.
If you change the config file (across all nodes), unmount the client,
restart the whole cluster (maybe even reboot for even more predictable
benchmark results), and then mount the client again, changes will have
very definitely been forced into effect; that should give you good,
benchmarkable, numbers.
