If you're just fighting IOPS, another compromise might be using a ramdisk, and then committing that data to storage every x seconds.
Yes, you might be breaking the RFC, but depending on what it's used for, you could probably commit every 3-5 seconds without much penalty and limit your data loss potential on server failure. Or as others have said... some sort of SSD/cache solution.
