You missed the "Number One rule".
As the file systems stores tables and indexes, tune the recordsize setting. It should probably be 8k vs 128k but it is too late for the parameter to affect the existing files. Look for "Important Note:" in the white paper for a workaround.
Properly tuning the record size is know to dramatically reduce the number of I/Os in some use cases although not necessarily with yours.
