checkpoint_write_time is not the amount of time spent doing I/O;
it's the elapsed wall-clock time in the write phase.  If the I/O
is being throttled because of an un-aggressive checkpoint completion
target, it could be a lot more than the actual I/O time.  What have
you got your checkpoint parameters set to?
