Tuning RHEL3 for Workstation Use 2005-10-29 - By coyote@(protected)

Hi everyone,
I don't think this has been asked before. I know there are guides
on how to tune RHEL3 for server use but I haven't seen much stuff
regarding tuning of RHEL3 for workstation use.
I've seen many people complain about the interactive performance
of RHEL3 (remember the xmms skipping when you scroll down a page in
mozilla).
Even disabling swap completely doesn't cut it and interactive
performance isn't what it used to be on RHL7.3. I know that RHEL4 as
several types of elevators and is rumoured to be better but that's not an
option for us right now (several binary-only commercial apps of the
glibc-2 (See http://ibc-2.ora-code.com).1 era which we doubt would run on RHEL4).
I played with stuff along the lines of vm.inactive_clean_percent =
100 , vm.pagecache= 1 15 100, vm.stack_defer_threshold = 3072 (for VxFS),
elvtune for disks but I'd like to see a real guide
Any ideas, guides?
