...and, if you have it available, try the -hugemem kernel. It's designed
(well, in 32-bit land it is!) for systems with over 16GB memory but at
work we've found it useful for systems with 8GB or more (using RHEL4 and
5). The headline is that for a small CPU overhead, apps have access to a
greater per-process memory space; underlying this seems to be much
improved FS cache handling.
