From the tests I have read, the Intel 510 are actually worse than the Intel X-25 G1/G2/320 models, with exactly the symptoms you're describing. It's fast for linear reads and writes, but not so good for random writes, especially not when it's getting full.
Yes; that's why I'm looking forward to also getting some SandForce 22xx based drives (probably OCZ Vertex 3) to test.
Include the Intel 320 as well, I think it should be viable for your usage pattern.
I wasn't too impressed by the Anandtech review of the 320, and (as everywhere) my funds are limited. :-)
