Itschak, Not really enough information to figure out what is causing the disconnect time. The two reasons you give will not cause large disconnect time for a cache hit.
Have you looked at the RMF Cache Reports for the volume when you have this large disconnect time? What is your cache hit break-up? What about cache miss+seq read+seq write activity to other volumes in the same array group. I hope you have Performance Monitor and Cruise Control. If this is a sibling pend problem you can find and fix it without interfering with your online workload.
