Wow that's some pretty ridiculous I/O lag. It's pretty obvious the VPS you have isn't intended for anything I/O intensive (or has too much I/O intensive stuff on it already). I'd recommend moving to a VPS provider that has fully virtualized containers rather than the para-virtualized ones you have now. Most places advertise these as "cloud" VPS servers, and most providers of them that I've seen have much better I/O times from higher performance SANs.
