    3 {{{big_writes}}} should only affect writes, and I can't immediately see why it would have anything but a beneficial effect. {{{direct_io}}} might affect both reads and writes, and could cause some loss of performance for applications that are relying for performance on kernel caching. Can you try the same tests with {{{-o big_writes}}} only?

    5 [I initially suggested both because http://xtreemfs.blogspot.com/2008/08/fuse-performance.html said that {{{direct_io}}} was needed (at least for some version of sshfs and Linux tested in 2008) to support writing in blocks greater than 4 KiB. However, point 2 in http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.fuse.devel/5292 suggests that this restriction might have been lifted.]
