Optimizing iowait with tmpdir and tmpfs or ramfs for Drupal 5 site

A note from the developer who oversees one of my Drupal sites. We could use your help.
Hello,
I have a rather burly Drupal based site that seems to be causing some
problems, today we had a major outage. There are many slow queries
and also mysql related iowait that causes server processes to hang, at
least that is the theory.
Here you can examine some of the stats on the server:

You can see my iowait stats here, which are pretty high:
