May be the main bottleneck is your disk.
Check for disk i/o wait time with an utility like "iostat" (comes with
"sar", "sysstat" package in debian)

Look at the %iowait field, Ex:

dAm2K:/home/dino# iostat
Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (dAm2K)    25/10/2008      _i686_

avg-cpu:  %user   %nice %system %iowait  %steal   %idle
