expire running dead slow

I have a machine, 1 of 6, running INN 2.4.1 on an Intel platform. CNFS 
storage, about 8TB, dual 2.8GHz HT Xeons, 2.5GB memory. Redhat 
Enterprise AS3.0.

This is one of our small regional servers. For some reason, expire on 
this machine takes forever to do expire every few days, anywhere from 
35-50 hours. At other times it runs only 1-2 hours. We have about 22M 
articles in history, INN is built largefile enabled, obviously.

The machine has very high waitio compared to all other machines, that 
may be cause, symptom, or related to load.

If anyone has the slightest clue why this one machine is such a pig, I'd 
love to hear. It is not visibly different from the other servers we use, 
other than performing poorly.
