I'm sure you probably already know about this, but just for the record, did you try altering the I/O scheduler to something else such as deadline: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1009577/selecting-a-linux-i-o-scheduler http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/tutorials/6880/1 If it really is low RAM, what causes 2GB to be eaten up so quickly in an x86_64 environment (which does not happen under the x86_32)?
