I don't asume ftp.cdrom.com to do the same that your system is supossed
to. Usually tuning is something you need to do depending on your needs.
At least you should drop a note containing your current configuration
and your current problems so people can make advises.
In general I don't expect that you need to change much.
Tuning VM parameters will of course bring you instability if you don't
know for shure what they do. In real world it's mostly never needed.
