Make RAM Disk as big as possible without impacting performance. You should 
also consider maxing out the RAM in these boxes.

You may want to see this posting regarding caching other things:

And this posting discusses some things you can do to help smooth out 
performance (suggested values probably low for your environment):

Also, since the time of this posting, we have implemented multiplexor 
queuing (queue size = 2x max number of sendmail daemons) and that too
has helped handle large connection bursts.

Hope this helps!
