Howto reduce disk I/O?

How can I reduce disk io on an arch server? Any suggestions / pointers?

I imagine you could add more RAM, so more stuff can get cached. Also, if the server is using the swap memory, you could play with the swappiness configuration to make it use it less.

I am on a VPS so can't add RAM, but will check out swappiness.

Thanks! :)
