Thanks a lot for all the comments.  The fact that both my windows box
and the old linux box both show a massive performance improvement over
the new linux box seems to point to hardware to me.  I am not sure how
to test the fsync issue, but i don't see how that could be it.

The raid card the server has in it is:
3Ware 4 Port 9650SE-4LPML RAID Card

Looking it up, it seems to indicate that it has BBU

Make sure the battery isn't dead.  Most RAID controllers drop to non-BBU speeds if they detect that the battery is faulty.
