I'm not sure it does, it's not specific to rpki-client so it wouldn't make much sense to put it there. (The place I see the biggest problem with poor behaviour due to disk io these days is when I grep over a large source tree, and in the past it's been when I ran pkg_add, but it shouldn't go in either of those..)
