He doesn't specify what file system he's using, but offhand, you would assume that what actually takes time isn't to creating the file, but rather allocating all the blocks. A good first step would be to reproduce the issue and take a profile of both cases?
- the8472 2y agoxfs, ext4 and btrfs all have delayed allocation. so they should only synchronously allocate the blocks if there is memory pressure or if they're triggering those well-meant (but in this case counterproductive) auto_da_alloc heuristics.
