All our tweaks and optimisations seem to be working. The load dropped when we started using "authbind" for Tomcat thereby eliminating the need for the Apache "mod_jk" module, which was creating extra processing overhead.

Looks like we have enough disk space in the /home partition for the next 3yrs at least, at our current rate of submissions. The /var partition which holds the database was reduced in size by tweaking the bitstream checker properties and then running a full database vacuum.

We have more than enough compute muscle.

Our memory usage stabilised when we stopped using the JSPUI. However after the upgrade to DSpace 1.8.2 and enabling discovery we are back to a memory intensive system.
