More than 90% of the disk transactions are on the (logical) disk where mail is stored. The only processes which touch that disk, are qmail delivery processes (qmail handed mail by another SMTP-IN box: 0.8 local deliveries per second) and courierpop3d processes (7.2 logins per second).
Start splitting the user directories across logical disks that are on different platters, for goodness sake. Mount points overlaid below the primary mount point by directory can easily do this for you.
