It's fragmented, isn't it? Run 'xfs_bmap -vp <file>' and count the
extents. If that fails because of ENOMEM errors, run 'xfs_io -f -c
stat <file>' to see what the count of extents is. if the result is
in the thousands, then that is the reason for it being slow.

Hmmm - a loopback filesystem image that was written to randomly?
Perhaps you should preallocate the file before running the write
test....

A current kernel (e.g. 3.4) will be significantly faster at removing
fragmented files than 2.6.37. Consider upgrading.
