I don't work directly with WAS here, but talk to the guys daily.
I would check the heap size contra gc runs and the time that takes.
It migh be much better to split into several smaller linux was servers with
smaller memory, heap size and shorter time for gc runs.

We have several WAS servers, and most of them has less than 2 GB.
Usually we start at 1 or 1.2 GB and increase if needed, swap is
two 64 MB vdisk and one physical 380 MB.
Tuning heap size is critical for resp. time.
With more WAS servers with smaller heap size, garbage collection runs
will be much shorter, making total resp time better.

It very much depends on the java code as well of course.

We set swappiness to 0 and started all  servers.  we will see if that helps
and I will look into the sp level upgrade. Does anyone have any good tweeks
for z websphere by chance?
