Is reporting the primary function of the server, or are you supporting
both a standard web application as well as reporting features? (I ask
because most companies offload reporting duties to a server that is not
used for day-to-day operations... the production server is replicated in
some way, and then a separate database is used for reporting.)

Seems fine. More memory is almost always better, but it shouldn't be a
problem if you're not running out of it.

As was mentioned less than an hour ago on another thread: if your web
app heavily relies on a database, then your database is likely to be the
bottleneck.

Is this a one-box wonder, or do you have the database on a separate
machine? Do you have appropriate indexes on your tables? Are you issuing
any "slow" queries (see MySQL documentation regarding identifying slow
queries)? Are you issuing barrages of queries that could potentially be
coalesced into just a few?

Is this one single page that is performing badly, or is this a
representative of the whole app?
