That should be enough RAM. Did you run any general performance tests: disk I/O permormance, memory speed ... Something like: A) sudo /sbin/hdparm -tT /dev/sda /dev/sda: Timing cached reads: 2308 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1154.85 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 276 MB in 3.00 seconds = 91.91 MB/sec B) dstat -c --nocolor --top-bio ----total-cpu-usage---- ----most-expensive---- usr sys idl wai hiq siq| block i/o process 21 5 72 1 0 0| 36k 243B 17 4 80 0 0 0| 21 6 73 0 0 1| 35 13 53 0 0 0|kdeinit4: d 0 32k 60 15 25 0 0 0|kdeinit4: d 0 12k 28 14 59 0 0 0|kwin 0 8192B 20 7 73 0 0 0| 17 6 76 0 0 0|firefox-bin 0 24k This will report some statistics on what application causes I/O traffic and if the system is forced to go into iowait for that. That's a good way to track down any issues with chocking disk IO.
