You didn't specify the size of the external journal device. In our testing we found that having a larger journal (internal) made a large difference in performance. I believe that the external journal will be the full size of the device (could be wrong of course) so it is probably worthwhile to ensure that the external journal is the same size as the internal journal (can be specified with "-J size=<mb>" for an internal journal, and "mke2fs -s 4096 -O journal_dev /dev/sdb6 <blocks>" for the external journal.
