I am a fan of stripping everything down and building with newer versions to keep things updated and clean. We have it down to about 45 minutes (if we are trying to be fast) to uninstall MT, Tomcat, Java -> resinstall Java, TC, MT, hotfix MT, configure MT/TC, customize login.jsp pages. It is for 8.1 but I'll strip out any proprietary info and post our process doc.
Recently when doing this I found our web server used about 75% of 16 GB of ram *without *our apps installed! No wonder this sever was unhappy. We just swapped it out with a new build earlier this week and is only using 20% of 16 GB after being active for almost a week (ITSM 8.0). That other server is heading towards a rebuild...
