I don't know, and I'm not a VM proff either. That said, 
does it improve things when you write e.g. the following in your
sysctl.conf:

 vm.dirty_ratio = 10
 vm.dirty_background_ratio = 5

Or you could go even lower using

 vm.dirty_background_bytes = 134217728
 vm.dirty_bytes = 268435456

(but then without setting vm.dirty_ratio and vm.dirty_background).
It causes pdflush to write data more frequently and in smaller amounts,
thus reducing blocking via disk i/o.
