Even though LMS is single threaded, having at least two cores provides the OS and other processes some breathing room. 2GB of RAM seems to be plenty, even for my sizable collection.
The single biggest improvement I have seen is to replace the system disc (the one with the OS, application software, and particularly, the SQLite DBs) with an SSD. I've built quite a few LMS machines for family and friends and I always use an SSD for the system now.
