Sorry if this is a re-post. I know I've almost posted it a couple
of times, I am not sure if I really did !

there was a fascinating discussion on UBC and tuning, which looked to
kind-of peter out.

Could somebody post at least the beginnings of a 'recommended' set
of tunings for some common scenarios?

	laptop
	desktop, big and small memory
	appserver
	DB server

I tried to follow a couple of 'well, I do this' but its not clear if
they help or not.

In particular, I think network performance seems to interact badly with
smaller-traffic net stuff (ie browsing is a dog, DNS lookup is a dog, when
a huge slab of sup or ftp or ssh is happening) and the general interactive
performance for a user is way off if the FS is taking a hammering. This is
on a laptop being used as the normal office desk as well as a roaming box.
