The cache line looks fine, I doubt that is causing you problems

That should probably be higher, like 32786 or something higher...

What the heck? Why are your settings set to such insane levels? The
first number in net.ipv4.tcp_wmem and net.ipv4.tcp_rmem would cause you
problems.

tcp_wmem - vector of 3 INTEGERs: min, default, max
         min: Amount of memory reserved for send buffers for TCP socket.
         Each TCP socket has rights to use it due to fact of its birth.
         Default: 4K

tcp_rmem - vector of 3 INTEGERs: min, default, max
         min: Minimal size of receive buffer used by TCP sockets.
         It is guaranteed to each TCP socket, even under moderate memory
         pressure.
         Default: 8K

Taking a wild stab, and saying 256 file descriptors open, that means
something on the order of:

256 * (2000000 + 1000000) = 768 MB (and that is MINIMUM even under
moderate memory pressure)

Lower all of your numbers down to a sane level....
