Your results for fsync are interesting.

I've noticed that a checkpoint seems to increase the activity on the WAL
drive as well as increasing I/O wait times. That doesn't correspond to
any real increase in WAL traffic I'm aware of.

Have you tried setting deadline scheduler on the WAL device and CFQ on
the data device? That should allow the I/Os to move through different
queues and prevent interference.
