Amit,

trackerd uses the best effort 7 disk io schedule by default (it tries
idle class first but as that needs root it will fail and default to BE
7)

note disk writes are not affected by the schedule as they are controlled
by pdflush and heavy writing is where the problem lies (pdflush tends to
go crazy)

tracker 0.6.3 mitigates the pdflush problems by intermittently calling
fsync when merging indexes to prevent pdflush from taking over the disk
and starving other apps
