fsyncs/seconds does look very bad to me. On a normal SATA disk I would 
expect a significantly higher value. Even more so on a RAID controller. 
Here's the output on one of our nodes:
vm007:~# pveperf
CPU BOGOMIPS:      38304.32
REGEX/SECOND:      1126929

I had similar issues a while ago, though not that extreme. I was getting 
fsync/s of 160. The resolution for me was to upgrade the kernel to the 
latest on in the repository. This one contained a better driver for the 
raid controller we are using.
