So my missive was wasted on you. I don't mind -- I suspect
there are others who found it informative.
>But what was the point of that novel?
Troubleshooting, how to isolate the limiting factor. You
might be suprised at how people run raid-5 for redundancy when
they're better off running raid-2 for their small storage needs.

How do you know? Seems to me the original poster best
knows his own situation, he can best decide the limiting factor
in his server speed issue. I merely provided one tidbit of info.

I'll defer to the poster on if it is the limiting factor.
With those load times there's something wrong, and it's probably
not memory speed but I/O or CPU, so it seems to me that disk is
a viable thing to query.
>He needs to disable Metamod
Of course -- zero the config and work up from there.
If it's not his software, I see no reason to dismiss hardware
as an item to evaluate. That said, software invariably kills
the hardware rather than the other way around, so change
hardware as a last option, but build it right in the first
place so you know what your limitations are.
