It's fairly easy to see which processes are consuming CPU and memory

disk activity? Sometimes my MBP will have long sustained flurries of
disk activity, and it's not obvious what's causing it. However, it's
so much I/O load that EVERYTHING else in the system slows to a crawl.
Do any of the tools break down I/O (HD) load by process?
Instruments has a File System instrument that should do what you want.
At a lower level, fs_usage should also do what you want (see the man
page for usage information).
