I would never try to push that traffic through a single, uncached
drive.
Take constant contention for the disk channel from multiple daemons
and threads, add in fragmentation, and you've got a recipe for high
CPU. It's not only distinctly processor-intensive apps that can suck
up CPU; many disk-intensive apps can do the same.
I would move to a RAID 1 array at the very least, RAID 0+1 if
possible, with as many drive spindles dedicated to as many separate
functions. The archives are rife with exemplary RAID configurations.
