You probably want to visit the FreeBSD mailing lists, most likely the
-stable list.

This has been discussed there, so I'd suggest a trawl of the archive
first.  When you post there do remember to give some details on your
hardware, and how much memory you've got!

Of course, I'd suggest you upgrade to 5.3-STABLE and use UFS2, which
doesn't (usually) write out files that live for less than 5 (ISTR)
seconds.  If you can get your scanning under that then you never hit
the disk :)
