With just one query running at this time... this is a query that runs
right after the "slow" query. Basically, these types of queries runs
serially, I don't see many instances where there are multiple
concurrent queries at the same time.

This means between 600 to 2000kb of writes a second. 2000kb/second at
this time is the highest today. Munin shows that DB averages 186kb
read/265kb write per second.
I'll take a look into the pg_statio_user_tables and related tables
tomorrow. It's the first time I've read about them, but any pointers
on what I should focus on would be great (boy, there's always
something new to learn).
