Something else to consider trying is playing with hdparm, specifically the
read-ahead settings on your disk drives. You may be able to increase
performance by increasing the read-ahead parm. However, I'm afraid that Sean
may be right and the only thing that will really help is more RAM.
If you've got all of your data backed up, you do backup don't you?, you might
consider swapping to a faster disk drive and restoring everything or adding
another drive and putting more swap on it. If you do add another drive for
more swap make sure the swap priorities are the same on both drives or you'll
end up just swapping to the drive with the highest priority.
HTH,
Ron
