I doubt this is practically fixable: nor, with the increasing prevalence of SSD with its zero seek time, are people particularly motivated to fix it.
I find mechanical HDDs to be a bottleneck in most software I use (web browsers, office suites, etc).

Atom and Zacate were notable cases since I was *already* using decent SSDs on those builds so the bottleneck was really the CPU.
