> $ iostat As rcoli already mentioned you don't seen to have an I/O problem, but as a point of general recommendation: When determining whether you are blocking on disk I/O, pretty much *always* use "iostat -x" rather than the much less useful default mode of iostat. The %util and queue wait/average time columns are massively useful/important; without them one is much more blind as to whether or not storage devices are actually saturated.
