Mark,
I ran pg_fsync_test on log and data LV's on both old and new hardware.
New hardware out performed old on every measurable on the log LV
Same for the data LV's except for the 16kB open_sync write where the old hardware edged out the new by a hair (18649 vs 17999 ops/sec)
and write, fsync, close where they were effectively tied.

to a non-striped (raid 1) volume on the new hardware. That could
explain the speed drop. Are the disks the same speed for the two
systems?
