I'm hosting multiple game servers on a machine with Debian 7 and after a game server is created, a new game folder is extracted with the game files on it, which involves copying around 2-4 GB, and while the files are being copied, every game server freezes for around 3 seconds or more.

Is there anyway to avoid this lag?

I'm using cfq as the default I/O scheduler, but maybe there is a way to slow down the copying speed so the machine doesn't lag?

Thanks in advice.

Depending on the reason for the slowdown, you might be able to use ionice or nice (I/O usage or CPU usage, respectively) to lower the priority of the copy. This will incidentally slow it down if there is other load that takes priority.
