You may be able to increase performance by increasing the read-ahead parm. However, I'm afraid that Sean may be right and the only thing that will really help is more RAM. If you've got all of your data backed up, you do backup don't you?, you might consider swapping to a faster disk drive and restoring everything or adding another drive and putting more swap on it. If you do add another drive for more swap make sure the swap priorities are the same on both drives or you'll end up just swapping to the drive with the highest priority.
