The replies I received pointed me to some websites with tuning
information.

There was also some indication that 3.62 has performance issues that
were resolved in 3.63.
Also, we determined that NES was writing to logs in /tmp, which we
believe might have exacerbated some IO problems we were seeing with swap
paging.
