What I/O scheduler are you using? Did you try to experiment with the 
deadline or the cfq I/O schedulers?
If you have them enabled in your kernel config, read 
Documentation/block/switching-sched.txt and see if things get better 
after changing the I/O scheduler for your hard disk.
Of course, your problem might be caused by something else altogether.
