How are these set ?

tail /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/{defrag,enabled,khugepaged/defrag}
/proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode

I suspect you may be suffering from issues with transparent huge pages.

I suggest to disable KSM and THP, or upgrade to a newer OS.

I've written before about these:
