Could you upload the java program that is generating the graphs? I'm curious to see how my system performs and I'm sure others are too.

another interesting test might be the following: disable readahead (both services), store the attached file as /tmp/files and put the following near the top of /etc/rc.sysinit: /usr/sbin/readahead `/bin/cat /tmp/files`
I had to move it a bit further down so it gets picked up by top (which in turn requires /proc):

There's a 20 MB load of files in your readahead list and they are being read for 15 seconds. I guess a 26.60 MB/sec 'hdparm -t' suggests room for improvement? Note that this is on a 4200 RPM drive.
