Oo, neat!

Do I understand you correctly to say that you've got 32G of memory and
a 4G database?  If you've got core of a similar size to your DB, then
I suggest an experiment: instead of sticking it all in a buffer, make
some RAMdisk, and stick a third copy of your DB vols there, and see if
that helps on read performance. :)

Sounds like fun.
