 I'm not able to reproduce this with a reasonably up-to-date version of
 the package (1.0.30) on amd64 running 10.99.12. I was also running that
 for about a month on another machine (amd64 running 9.4_STABLE), and
 didn't notice such an issue there, either. On the 10.99.12 laptop, I
 observe with iostat that there is very little disk activity occurring
 when the wm is active. (It is comparable to ctwm for me.)
 
 Are you certain it's really e16 that's causing all the disk activity?
 Have you traced it to see what specifically is happening?
