There isn't a way to do it natively, but there are a few ways to work around it.
One is to split your hosts into separate clusters, and multiple gmetad instances. These could easily be on the same host, but use different disk partitions so there's less IO contention. Dump all of the files into a single location, but use symlinks to distribute them. Get an SSD drive, and use that; it should help a fair bit since the IO is largely small/random. Disable readahead on the device in question. Use tmpfs to store the RRD files, but remember to sync them back to persistent storage periodically (and restore them again at boot-time).
