Maybe some tracing on kvm process could give us clues to find where the cpu is 
used ?

Also another idea, can you try with "auth supported=none" ? maybe they are some 
overhead with ceph authenfication ?

Ok thanks.

Seem to use a lot of cpu vs nfs,iscsi ...

I hope that ceph dev will work on this soon !

No. For three VMs yes. For one and two no. I think librbd / rbd
implementation in kvm is the bottleneck here.
