launchd is producing a lot of I/O activity. In the last day and a half it managed to write 12 GB of data while reading 500MB.
I the logs I do not see anything suspicious. Any suggestion at where could I look?

Try to use the
lsof
utilityEDIT There are can be other user
launchd
processes running with different process IDs, runTo check PIDs of other instances of
launchd
.It should list opened files by
launchd
. Try that to find there something suspicious. You can also try an app called fseventer, it shows read/write events to the filesystem, or use app like Grand Perspective or Disk Inventory X to find this newly created huge file and investigate further what it is.
