Ok, but it was very forgotten in my circles when I suggested we use a ramdisk. Ours was at /dev/shm/ I think. Noone had heard of ramdisks and sounded a bit skeptical but the server is still running and no problems with sluggish pages any more.
Ramdisks are so very handy now when you can have much more than 512 kB ram... :-)
