Have to reply to myself, sorry ...

if you find the disk(s) to be too busy, you may also want to try playing
with sync(), which might unload your disk also (if you're waiting for
disks, it's probably not because of unsufficient throughput). You might
have to use small sampling intervals with the monitoring tools the way
you're testing it ...
