Sorry for the delay, work and travel... 

The numbers you posted:

So, when I run the stat command I get high latency like:
Latency min/avg/max: 7/339/392
Latency min/avg/max: 1/371/627
Latency min/avg/max: 1/371/627
Latency min/avg/max: 1/364/674
I guess such high latency correspond to fsync (batch requests). But I wish
if someone could help me and explain this behaviour. 

However, testing Zookeeper using Synchronous mode, it gives me reasonable
result like:
Latency min/avg/max: 6/24/55
Latency min/avg/max: 7/22/61
Latency min/avg/max: 7/30/65



Looking at the following:
Latency min/avg/max: 7/339/392
Latency min/avg/max: 6/24/55

Lets focus on the max,

392 vs 55. 

What does the 392 represent? 

The interesting thing is the min values of the latency numbers of the async. 
1ms? 
But that's a different issue. 

So lets start there.
