Unless it’s a very very ancient unsupported version of centos the virt-io 
drivers will be in the kernel package.
Do a lsmod and look for virtio to check if it is loaded.

Regarding the slower speed of the custom image:
First check if they are really the same file format and one is not secretly a 
raw file:
file centos.qcow2

I would expect the virt-sparsify to be indeed the way to go.
Although I think that cinder will convert it to raw for you and you probably 
want that for ceph (IIRC it is a setting).
It might be that the centos downloaded file is actually RAW so it does not need 
to convert that.

You can also check the cinder server debug log / load or ceph load to see if 
something is bottlenecked during the upload to maybe get a hint to what the 
problem is.

Cheers,
