I don't see anything unusual about the inodes there offhand.
Since GFS allocates inodes and metadata from the free space,
it's perfectly normal to see "100% used" and "0% free".  It
will allocate new inodes as it needs to.  That just means that
not a lot has been deleted and able to be re-used.

As for performance tuning, did you read the performance tuning
section in the FAQ?  I've added a lot of info to it lately.
