I did my performance test with bigger chunk size, in the range of 
128-512K. It can very well be that the overload of a smaller chunk size 
results in 10x lower IOPs for to-be-allocated-and-copied chunks. Can you 
retry fio after increasing chunk size?

As a side not, if I remember correcly thin pool metadata is hard limited 
do 16 GB - no need to allocate 100 GB for it.
