Not necessarily, a single highly fragmented file could cause this problem.

In other words, the problem is not with average fragmentation on the 
filesystem, the problem is with highly fragmented individual files.
Do you know which file might be getting accessed when you get these errors? 
And as a starting point - do you have large files downloaded via bittorrent 
somewhere?  :)
You can run xfs_bmap -v on any suspect files to see how many extents they have.
