Yes,, EFS is a performance killer, you really should not use it for a Wordpress site

For our site, the root cause of the latency is/was within the Elegant Themes Divi Theme--specifically, there is a theme/plugin compatibility loader class that checks for compatibility issues to resolve.

Apparently, Divi runs fine on a single server infrastructure; but, on this multiple server infrastructure, this compatibility loader is called on EVERY page load, and hence, the latency. We fixed this in our theme files and provided code to Elegant Themes to fix on their end.

This all said, I can't help but wonder if there is something on infrastructure side that may not play nicely with this popular theme. Perhaps this infrastructure exacerbated an existing unnoticed Divi issue or the infrastructure simply introduced a new element not previously considered by Divi.
