Hi all, Here's things went MUCH better today with caching (and other stuff) turned off https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/Firefox3Optimize. My load average on Wednesday was 27 with 25 users and today it topped out at 9 with 25 users. Much better. Disk writes were down to 1.6k/s from 7k/s.
There were a few reports of sluggishness so I am going to set up a separate 7k SATA disk for /home and see if that puts paid to this issue. As expected my firewall used a lot more RAM today. I'll be upgrading it as well.
