Something more relevant perhaps, mount options via FSTAB on the server are;

/dev/###                /mountpoint       xfs     
defaults,allocsize=64m,relatime,logbufs=8,logbsize=256k               0 0

Notice the allocsize of 64MB, perhaps relatime might be playing a role as well?

I will remove allocsize first and report back.
