Have you considered turning off disk read-ahead on the partition that
includes the .rrd files?  That should help somewhat.  There's a good
paper that discusses the performance of MRTG (a heavy user of
rrdtool), and how to make it scale nicely:

Note that the patch to rrdtool mentioned in in the paper is includined
in rrdtool 1.2.24 and later.
