I'd be interested in the commit_siblings and commit_delay settings,
tuning them could give a high increase on throughput for highly
concurrent insert/update workloads, at the cost of latency (and thus
worse results for low concurrency situations).
Different fsync method settings can also make a difference (I presume
that syncing was enabled).
HTH,
