Hrm, with that much ram, you should look into some of the tmpfs/ramdrive setups, 8G server 6G ramdrive 2G spare? rock the house man You just have to be sure to set up a proper backup/restore system and or guard for power loss.
Probably add noatime opts to your fstab too. Reduces overhead on disk reads. Custom kernel compile, not sure how much that would help than a few %.
