You should try version 2 logs and larger log buffer sizes.

Also - external log I/O is not cached, so throughput to
the log is determined by the hardware. If the external
log is slow, it may be worse than an internal log in
terms of performance. Larger log buffers (v2 logs) should
improve performance for these tests on both internal
and external logs.

Cheers,

Dave.
