We often have on and off discussions about this, so a look in the
archives for specific tuning ideas, etc. is a good idea.
What it usually comes down to is
* fast disk
* good filesystem
* lots of memory
* fast CPU
* more than one CPU
* all the other usual stuff
all depending on your particular application.
There are some anecdotes about some operating systems being all in all
better suited than others but I won't join the speculation here. A faster
box will always do.
