Very good suggestions John! I agree that log files should be on a
separate spindle, and that I should break down the file groups into
multiple physical files, etc, etc.

I will implement all of these suggestions as soon as I get the
opportunity, however I do not think they will increase the throughput
enough to meet our needs.

We are only using 2 Raid 5 arrays right now. That somewhat limits the
load balancing options. I am really pushing for another Raid
Controller card or even 2 so I can properly balance the system.

There is some bad code out there, but I have re-written most of it and
I'm sure I can make further improvements, though I do not think it is
a major issue anymore.
