I can't explain it off the top of my head.

I don't have a swift installation to play with at the moment, but it's
conceivable that posix_fadvise is slower than we expect (drop_cache is
called more frequently during reads than writes, iirc).  That could be
tested by making drop_cache a no-op in the object server.

Or running the object server under a profiler during both operations
might shed some light on what is taking so much time.
