I doubt it. The problem is that the CephFS MDS must perform distributed metadata transactions with ordering and locking. Whereas a filesystem on rbd runs locally and doesn't have to worry about other computers writing to the same block device. Our bottleneck in production is usually the MDS CPU load.

Seems to me like it ought to: moving only the 'interesting' bits of files over the so-called 'public' network should take fewer, smaller packets than the overhead associated with whole blocks that hold some fraction of the 'interesting' bits?
Does it work that way in practice?
