Jaime, I tried with strace but I'm really confused, it generates tons of info.
Anyway, for what I can see they do not differ for what concerns lancelot, so
maybe the anomalous disk activity is generated by another process related to
lancelot. I can also paste the logs, if you believe it is useful.

When killing and relaunching plasma-desktop I also monitored disk activity with
iotop. For ext4 I had basically no disk activity when launching plasma-desktop
for the second or third time, due to caching I think, and this sounds fair. But
with ext3 I saw a lot of I/O done mainly by kjournald and flush-8:0. I think
they are not KDE processes, but maybe some KDE process is triggering them too
frequently when on ext3...
I hope these informations mean something to you, I'm completely puzzled...
