Why do you expect to see high IO wait?
Does your database fit in system memory? If you do not modify the data and
it is not large enough, it is unlikely you will hit IO wait.
Do you have write cache enabled for the file system/device? Even if you have
some DML statements, it would not be that easy to saturate write cache
enabled storage (especially, when it fits in memory).
