If the drive is indeed a bottle neck (use bonnie or bonnie++ to test)
then try to NFS mount all voluminous log files.
Prune the kernel, really small, it always helps.
It may need "swap" space on the drive (be careful with this and research it.
Make sure you active all of the hardware features of the cpu.

or

Lean out what you autostart at boot time.
LESS is better if you bog down the processor or ram or SSD.
