I have tried to modify checkpoint_to and checkpoint_segment, commit_delay and commit_sibblings parameters, but without
anyeffect.
Touching the different postgres parameters, I was not able to influence the height of the peaks (see captures1.jpg),
northe delay
between the peaks.
I wonder if that peaks are independent from postgres or not ? I have executed bonnie++, good results as expected.
Should I upgrade my kernel to the last one (2.4.19), and/or install the last postgres version?

Just to be sure:
Could it be a checkpoint?
Checkpoint is supposed to flush all data to disks at regular intervals, isn't it?

I'm gonna make a guess here that it's WAL activity, or log activity.
So first off, are you saving postgresql's output to a log? if so, try
logging to a different drive than your data drive or turning off logging
for a quick test.
If it's WAL writes that are causing the problem, you can either try to
change the settings for commit_delay and commit_siblings or symlinking the
pg_xlog directory somewhere else. If you aren't sure how to do that,
don't learn how to on a live production server with real data.

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to majordomo@postgresql.org)
