Thanks for the quick reply. Sar seems to indicate that the server is
disk-bound (although some swapping is going on, so more RAM is on the way).
CPU is idle, consistently, 99% of the time.
Would upgrading the kernel help the disk performance? Server is not
connected to the internet, so security concerns are not *that* important,
but performance is ...
