Set the swap to 25 gig and have the min/max the same so windows
doesn't keep on dynamically resizing it.  Also make sure your cache is
explicitly set.  Especially if you have floating profiles under
windows then you run into the problem where lame windows puts tmp in a
directory which lives on the server and or it gets copied back to the
server every time the system logs out.

3rd, on your farm are you launching a render per core or are you
multithreading?  I would multithread if you don't have the ram since a
frame per core uses far more ram.
