I'd be interested in finding out what the IOPS

a Minecraft server. I suspect they are quite high otherwise Multiplay

I think the trick is to put the world data in /dev/shm and have a script
that stops chunk saving while you rsync the copy in memory to disk once
every n minutes.
That does mean more RAM and the possibility of losing data, but it might
be worth trying.
