Could you upload the java program that is generating the graphs? I'm
curious to see how my system performs and I'm sure others are too.

I had to move it a bit further down so it gets picked up by top (which
in turn requires /proc):

The result:

There's a 20 MB load of files in your readahead list and they are being
read for 15 seconds. I guess a 26.60 MB/sec 'hdparm -t' suggests room
for improvement? Note that this is on a 4200 RPM drive.
