The numbers you get don't include the sync, you want to know when it's 
*on* disk too.
time dd if=/dev/zero of=./tmp bs=1M count=4000 ; time sync
Imagine a server with 64GB of memory..the cache effect would be quite large.
You might want to try: al-extents 3833;
Does your network reach 100MB/s? Verify with iperf or netpipe.
