I just tried paravirtualized virtio block devices, and my tests show

guessing this isn't normal. Is this a known issue or am I likely to have
mosconfigured something? I'm using 64-bit RHEL/CentOS 5 (both host and
guest).

Please try to change the io scheduler on the host to io scheduler, it should boost your performance back.

I presume you mean the deadline io scheduler. I tried that (kernel parameter elevator=deadline) and it made no measurable difference compared to the cfq scheduler.
