  As you see read speed for 200KB file is only 7.2MB/sec while it is
  10.7 MB/sec when we read 100MB file.
  Why there is so much difference in read performance ?
  Is there any way to achieve high read speed for small files ?

That seems excellent to me.  204800 bytes at 11213252 per sec would be 18.2
msec, so your per-file overhead is around 9 msec.  The disk latency alone
would normally be more than that.
