Out of curiosity and so I can learn. Why did you suggest CONFIG_HZ be set
to 100 (IIRC default is 250) and also what exactly is it supposed to do
for you. We did not have it before.
Also what about CONFIG_PREMPT being none? The help mentions it is for low
latency.
Thanks.

IIRC, RedHat kernels are relatively generic in that they have almost
MUCH faster. 1) Because you'll have a pre-defined kernel config. 2)
You'll know what most of the kernel options are (at least
superficially) and which ones you need enabled. You'll just have to
read the help for any new ones that pop up. ;-)
I've done all that, in terms of drivers/features turned on/off/modules. I
meant more in terms of things like threads per process, processes per user
(ulimit and friends), max data stack, that sort of thing.
For that take a look at
http://www.gentoo.org/news/en/gwn/20050808-newsletter.xml
section "Tips and Tricks"
The "sys-kernel/hardened-sources" give some more flexibility but the
fact is not so widely used, as (on amd64) the vanilla ones has to be
considered.
Also setting ulimit and sysctl apply to every linux system not only
gentoo and should be always checked, also if you trust that the distro
you are using is optimized to be used as server.
Also to consider:
CONFIG_HZ=100
CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y
IOSCHED_AS || IOSCHED_DEADLINE || IOSCHED_CFQ
