First check, than argue.
Of course it can be different for a server but the ratio will probably 
remain simillar. The simplest reason I can think of (there are other 
too) is that there are deamons whose startup is CPU bound (Apache? 
Samba?) and I/O bound (most of them probably... I know about CUPS which 
starts without any disc activity and probably also no CPU usage I guess 
it just waits for printers enumeration).
