I did notice that and so discounted it immediately, but why would ext3 need to 
do a write to journal every 5 seconds anyway when _nothing_ is being written to 
the filesystem?  In that case a write only makes sense when the filesystem is 
unmounted.

If something is in fact writing to the filesystem, then I need to find out 
what.
