It depend on the OS.  If on a unix-like system, you should look at sar's
for the disks.  What also matter besides for separate spindles are separate
controllers (if you are large/lucky) enough to have more than one.

I'd start by throwing more memory to the buffers, to see if that
helps.  Next, i'd look carefully and the SQL statements for inefficiencies.
