you can play around with this one but in my experience it doesn't make
much difference anymore (it used to).

this seems low.  are you sure you are not getting sorts swapped to disk?

does turning this to off make a difference?  This would help narrow down
where the problem is.

hm! how did you arrive at this number?  try setting to zero and
comparing.

with a high query load you may want to consider turning this off.  On
win32, I've had some problem with stat's collector under high load
conditions.  Not un unix, but it's something to look at.  Just turn off
stats for a while and see if it helps.

good luck! your hardware should be more than adequate.
