Could that be related to the problem? I've googled it briefly and found it has something to do with disk i/o. Is that correct!? The problem is caused by slow disk!?
Yes, delays can be caused by slow I/O. Slow I/O can be a problem with virtualization because I/O resources are always shared with other customers, especially if SSDs are not in use. Try temporarily turning logging off with "log off" and see if this makes a difference.
Re: OpenVZ, I don't like OpenVZ myself because it allows hosts to oversubscribe RAM and limits customization options (I prefer Xen). But, a more important factor than the virtualization technology is just how reputable the host is, in terms of how much they monitor their hardware to ensure that it's not overloaded, and how responsive they are when it comes to investigating performance concerns with customers. Going with one that offers dedicated (not "burstable") RAM and CPU resources (such as cores assigned exclusively to each VPS) is a step in the right direction.
