...add more memory and disk space. I haven't seen his cache_mem and memory
usage, but maybe using more than one GB for disk cache would help a bit
without machine starting to swap...

But as long as the question was what to do "besides the hardware"...

Also: What replacement policy do you (Ow Mun Heng) use? I use heap LFUDA for
disk objects and heap GSDF for memory cache. LFUDA gave me 2% better byte
radio and GSDF 2% better hit ratio IIRC.
