softdeps shouldn't prevent the disk from spinning down either.
it might take a little longer to flush out the data that it's
buffered up, but once it's done with that it shouldn't cause
any activity until a process wants to read or write something.

I can believe that there could be *something* that interferes
with this, but the things you've mentioned so far aren't it.
