That sounds odd: - do you have an idea of how many inserts per second / minute you think you are sending? - Is is just one node thats flushing mem tables fast? - Can you send the column family for the super busy CF (nodetool cfstats) - Can you send the storage-conf.xml - Can you send the nodetool tpstats for the busy node.
