Obviously I cannot guarantee it, but I think it's extremely likely that with that much memory, performance will be very good. One other possibility, which is discussed on that wiki page I linked, is that your java heap is being almost exhausted and large amounts of time are spent in garbage collection. If you increase the heap from 4GB to 5GB and see performance get better, then that would be confirmed. There would be less memory available for caching, but constant garbage collection would be a much greater problem than the disk cache being too small. Thanks, Shawn
