Deletion of objects is (among other Ceph operations) a very costly
process. 
People run into this frequently and it has been discussed here.

The deletion of an object comes with a "fixed cost" (I/O, updating maps)
and with 4KB objects you have 1000 times more objects than with 4MB ones.

You should be happy that isn't 1000 times slower (as far as I can see from
your mail).

Regards,

Christian
