Of course, but that's not the point. The "ionice" command helps you prioritize I/O done by processes. The class 1 is "real time", the class 3 is "idle". Process in class 1 with the priority 0 has the highest I/O priority, any other process will have to wait for the LGWR to complete. If LGWR is the only process doing I/O on that particular disk, there will be no gain.
