vim background I/O

Is there a way to make vim do I/O in the background? When I do a write sometimes my hard disk spins for a few seconds (sometimes almost a full minute) before vim responds again. I've tried a handful of options like

set nobackup  
set nowritebackup  
set noswapfile  
set nofsync

But they don't seem to help much.

No, no background IO in Vim.

And instead of tinkering the symptoms you should cure the cause of your harddisk problems.
