One thing you might think about is stashing your NOAA files to disk
periodically (couple times a day) and restoring them, as they take a long
time to regenerate as you get more and more data. The other stuff will
regenerate quickly on firstboot of course.
Like many, I stumbled onto the tmpfs ram drive solution a while ago.
Killing three birds with one stone ... I have an init script
(attached) that:
o Backs up the web directory on shutdown or when called with
"sync" or "reload"
o Restores the web directory on startup
Cron entry runs the "sync" nightly, the other two modes are self
explanatory.
