Yes I really haven't considered this in my statement as also not slow disk
system or slow disks themself

hum, may be on low traffic machines but there are certain priorities I
guess, firstable good hardware comes first and not only disks but also
network cards and memory. Bad cheap nics can do really terrible
performance downgrading as well steal important cpu times. After getting
the hardware straight you can get really great improvements by tweaking
values for a cache server. Since we talk Freebsd here you might get easy
20% or more overall performance benefit in comparism to a stock OS and
especially on SMP machines.
