I have OS X Server on a Powermac 2008 3,1 with 16GB ram and multiple external raid 5 disk arrays.
I've noticed that OS X Server is only using 3-5GB of ram and very minimal CPU usage. Yet I've got 6 other Macs doing timemachine backups, video playback, DVD ripping, etc. I would think that I have a lot of ram being wasted and not being used for disk cache. I've google searched my butt off and have not come across anything meaningful that explains tuning for disk i/o. So I pose my question here. How do I make this Macpro OSX Server wicked fast...
