Others' suggestions stand, but I have found the best way to speed up a journalled filesystem (of any kind) is with an external journal on a separate controller channel. If your XFS journal is internal, the RAID10 layer creates a longer data path when actions are recorded in the journal, then read from the journal, and finally committed to the main filesystem.
You may also investigate the speed of different elevator algorithms. XFS does best with "noop" or "deadline" in my experience. Most Linux distributions ship with "cfq" as their default elevator, which can clash badly against XFS.
