I've been following this discussion (rather belatedly) with some interest. One thing I haven't heard anyone discuss yet:
Has anyone tried running RT in a virtual machine? I'm about to move our RT 3.4.2 server onto a virtual machine. I've configured the RT VM to be actually really quite weedy (32-bit and only 2 GB RAM), and perhaps I need to change that, but I figure that VMware ESX probably does quite a good job of caching the disk its using anyway. The actual physical hardware is a quad socket quad core machine with 64 GB of RAM. The underlying storage is StorageWorks EVA on a SAN, so it should be pretty quick. Has anyone tried this sort of thing? Am I about to burn myself badly? Our turnover of tickets is pretty low - only a few hundred tickets a week.
