What are the iostat / vmstat numbers during the test?

note you need to run iostat with -x <interval> and ignore the first sample as its average since reboot. I usually use 5, 10, or 30 second intervals when analyzing IO performance problems.

on a system with multiple storage devices, the device list can get long and confusing, I'll often specify just the device(s) I'm investigating...

    iostat -x 5 sdc sdd

ditto, vmstat needs a <interval> argument, or it shows average since reboot
