        By default ext3 write the journal every 5 sec and I reckon
this was the reason why writing lots of temporary data in /tmp was
generating a high I/O traffic.

        I think SCSI would only better cope with the high I/O traffic.
However, lots of I/O in this case is not normal nor necessary.
