Disk activity

I'm using Workrave 1.9.4 under Slackware Linux 13.37.

I've noticed that, when the program is running, approximatively once
per second hard disk heads move, probably because something is
physically written to disk.

Is this the right behaviour of the program or is it a problem with my
installation? I wonder if such an intense activity could reduce disk's
life.
