File Share latency problems

Question

We are running a load balanced two server setup in Azure on Windows machines using a common Premium File Share

The application is slow and the disk latency test:

java -Djava.io.tmpdir= -jar support-tools.jar

performs very slow, several magnitudes more than recommended from Atlassian.
We get an average of 6-9 milliseconds for open, r/w, close and delete calls.

Anyone out there encountering the same kind of latency problems in Azure?

Please help
Sincerely
Jan Isacsson

Thanks for replying,

Microsoft is not writing anything about Latency and that is what is important for the application as it requires less than 1 ms latency for open, close, r/w and delete operations. We are now considering using Azure NetApps Files.
