Sequential output around 4MB/s, Sequential input about 50MB/s

a 12 to 1 ratio in read to write speed is probably NOT related to your drivers... drivers should have aproximately the same overhead on a read or a write. I would guess that there is something strange in your actual storage. I think you need to benchmark /dev/VolGroup00/test-1_disk from dom0 and figure out what your I/O system is capable of.
