Hello,

About 2 days ago, I noticed that my daily cPanel update and backup emails were being delivered at times differently than before. Checking iotop, it looks like the `rpm -vV` command is moving very slowly:

Code:
32159 be/4 root        19.78 K/s    0.00 B/s  0.00 % 99.99 % rpm -vV MySQL51-client MySQL51-devel MySQL51-server MySQL~-Crontab cpanel-perl-514-Config-General cpanel-perl-514-Co
19.78K! When I run `ioping`, I usually get fine throughput and low latency. However, running some other programs take a long time to load (even `man`).

Any ideas what I can look at to figure out why suddenly my I/O performance has gotten hosed? My webpages seem to load fine still, so I'm not seeing a performance hit there, which is also strange. My VPS host has said everything looks good on the node.

Thanks,
- Taj
