You can fiddle with the settings to increase disk cache and cache expiry time. I have 12 GB Ram so I use maximum 2048 MB cache and expiry is set to 240 seconds (4 minutes). I have normal disk activity with that. Not near 100 % since that would mean ~ 112 MB/s. 

I am still on 3.1.2 so maybe smthng else changed? Just throwing this in for you to test with.

Ok, nice to hear. Be aware though, that IF you would get an "I/O Error" try to decrease the expiry time and/or size. Not all computers have the same memory handling.

Other recommended settings would be to enable Bandwidth Management (uTP) but not apply rate limit to it. Like so: http://i.imgur.com/E0T8Nqg.png

Happy torrenting.
