I think the answer to the problem is in the CHUD tools for
Developers. It's called SpindownHD.app and I'm not trying to find
info on exactly how it works. The other solution is a 'cron job'
(whatever replaced cron) that touches a file every few minutes.
I like the idea of being able to turn this on just when I'm doing
photo editing.

hdparam: command not found.
I'll do some googling, this might be enough to figure it out! Acrobat as well as Phase One's Capture One,
and a few other
things. My performance issues are strictly related to RAM and Disk
I/O. Actually the main performance problem is these **** HD's that
go to sleep on their own when not being used, and there doesn't
seem to be a way to turn off that behavior!
Don't know if it works on OSX, but on linux the hdparm utility lets
you turn that off. The -B, -S and -Z switches are relevant.
