Hi Richard,
Firstly, thanks a million for the reply.
To answer your questions:
1. Are you limited by CPU, memory or disk i/o?
I am not limited, but would like to get the most out of the config I have in
order to be able to know what I'll get, when I scale up.
But you said: "During the day, the system is incredibly slow to a point
where it is unusable". So presumably one or more of cpu,memory or disk
i/o is the problem.
2. Are you happy your config settings are good? How do you know?
I'm not, and would appreciate any help with these.

contention?
Not that I can see
