I believe "local" in this context is using the local ovirt Host OS disk as
VM storage ie "local storage". The disk info mentioned "WDC
WD40EZRZ-00G" =
a single 4TB disk, at 5400RPM.
OP the seek time on that disk will be high. How many VMs are running off
it?
Are you able to try other storage? If you could run some monitoring on the
host, I'd expect to see low throughput and high delay on that disk.

Sorry for the late reply.
Define: local.
NFS, Gluster or ISCSI?
