There is an applet that might have helped. You know those kinds of applets that show a cpu usage graph? But there is one type of "busy" that doesn't usually show, and it is the percent of time the cpu is waiting for I/O. Typicals are "user, system, nice, idle", but IOwait is usually neglected. The gnome cpu monitor does show it, in black over black, and I always change it to some dark color that I can see: thus I know when my system becomes unresponsive but cpu is low that disk usage is high; ie, that the cpu is waiting for the disk.
The KDE panel applet "System Monitor" shows I/O wait time in the CPU column as green. To my knowledge, GKrellM does not offer this distinction.
