Actually xfs's default (only) mode is more like writeback than ordered.
So that's a fair comparison. I bet it is xfs's barriers that hurt
it, though - while they are pretty much required on a single disk with a
volatile write cache, I think xfs's barrier implementation hurts it more
than barriers for ext*
