Small files perform much faster on newly formatted fs?

Oh, I did only look at the xfs_info output.

The difference could be that your filesystem is very much aged, and the 
free space clustered around to new files get heavily fragmented. Did you 
run xfs_defrag often? How full is your filesystem?

Also the log has sunit=0 against 16, maybe there's the diff.
Are you on a newer kernel that supports delaylog? Then try that.
