--- Comment #4 from Theodore Tso <tytso@....edu> ---
Could you retry your measurements using the latest kernel?  At least 3.11, and
preferably 3.13.

We significantly optimized the write path for the nodelalloc case in 3.11. 
That should fix the average size being so small for the nodelalloc case:

    ext4: use ext4_da_writepages() for all modes

    Rename ext4_da_writepages() to ext4_writepages() and use it for all
    modes.  We still need to iterate over all the pages in the case of
    data=journalling, but in the case of nodelalloc/data=ordered (which is
    what file systems mounted using ext3 backwards compatibility will use)
    this will allow us to use a much more efficient I/O submission path.
