Did you already post the results of:
cat /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode

Also, how big did you say your dataset is? Based on the output of free,
you're certainly not using all the memory you have. That could be just
because you haven't accessed that much of your dataset, or it could be
because zone reclaim is preventing you from using your entire amount of RAM
as file system cache.
