Do you have the system now?

While it's most likely be a dream, identifying the current bottlenecks
might  be useful :-)

Just a few uneducated guesses of my own:

* More than one IP per NIC won't help and only cause some administrative
  issues
* I'm not sure how much the extra memory can help. I suspect htat if you
  boot the system with mem=<whatever_needed_for_16GB> the results won't
  differ greatly
* It would also be interesting to see how the results scale with various
  values numbers of cores. This is again something you can set at boot
  (numcpus=N). I wonder just how far from linear it will be.
