I didn't have such drop in performance testing 'rados bench 360 write -p 
rbd' on 3x replicated (slow)hdd pool. Sort of near the average, 
sometimes drops to 90. But I guess the test hits than an osd that is 
scrubbing and being used by other processes.

It is all the possible caches used by ceph, by the device driver, the 
filesystem (in filestore+xfs), the controllers (emulated or real) and 
the harddisk electronics, ie anything between the benchmark software and 
the spinning disk write head (or not so spinning on ssds).

Object gateway (be it swift or S3) goes over something that looks like 
http, so it will most certainly have longer turn around times and hence 
slower speed for single streams.
You may possibly get over parts of that overhead by having many multiple 
streams and counting the sum of the transfers, but there is no big 
surprise that individual writes get slower if you have to pass via an 
external box (the radosgw) using https instead of writing directly to 
the storage.
