Alignment sounds like a plausible factor, but in my testing I've found that the penalty for unaligned writes on the Optane P4800X is less than a factor of two.

Hadn't really thought of that. I suppose we could have retried by making a single partition taking up the entire space, and letting fdisk take care of aligning the start of the partition. But I assumed that alignment wouldn't be an issue when using the unpartitioned block device.
