Interesting in that I've seen the exact opposite: Chrome hits the disk a lot harder, especially on startup, compared to Firefox.

This is true, the cold startup takes longer in Chrome than in FF. But if you're short on RAM (I usually hit 2-3GB usage without a browser running) and the OS starts swapping when you open tabs (I have ~30-40 open regularly), then the difference appears.
