Thanks for your reply. Adding '-c fast' does seem to improve the initial delay. I'm still seeing delays of several minutes between write bursts. The server has light OLTP loading.

what is the cmd？the default checkpoint method is spread,so pg_basebackup will wait the checkpoint complete on the master.you can set the checkpoint method to fast to avoid the waiting.
I'm seeing some strange behavior running pg_basebackup on 9.3.5. It appears that there are long pauses - up to a couple of minutes - between relatively short bursts of disk activity.
I'm not noticing any lock requests outstanding. What might I be missing?
