[SLUG] disk throughput vs cron

I run a disk-to-disk copy every morning at 5am, invoked by cron. Every now
and then, I see a drop in throughput (today it was from ~45 MB/s to ~34
MB/s, from 5:01:30 to 5:08:30). How can I find out what's running at this
time and slowing down the copy? I already found the stuff in /etc/crontab,
and I moved that from 6:xx to 7:xx. I checked crontabs for root and eben
(news has none), nothing about that time.
