Hello,
yes, fragmentation has impact. The question "how much" is hard to answer and also depends on how much data is on the file system. Copy on write (COW) file systems don't like it in general if they are filled higher than ~80%. You will find similar post for REFS. I merged your question to the existing XFS thread. Fragmentation was discussed earlier.
Simulating a sequential read does not match VBK restore because that would be more or less random read because of fragmentation.
Best regards,
Hannes
