ISTM that the main performance issue for xlog is going to be the rate at
which fdatasync operations complete, and the stripe size shouldn't hurt
that.
What are your postgresql.conf settings for the xlog: how many logfiles,
sync_method, etc?

Interesting - the seek rate is very good for two drives, are they 15K RPM?
