Please send us to your postgresql.conf and detail of your server (memory ,raid 
cache size and OS version).

I think your server's memory is big. You should set small dirty_background_ratio 
or dirty_background_byte. If your server's memory is big, PostgreSQL's checkpoint 
executes stupid disk-write.

By the way, I make new checkpoint scheduler and method now. If you could send 
more detail information which is like response time or load average, you will 
help me to make better my patch.

Best regards,
