Dual Xeon(exact same HW and conf with 2 cpus) now is about tolerable also single Xeon, with or without ht, still gets very stuck, load goes quickly 7-9, ls /directoryNotInCache takes 10 secs, cpu is idle, related processes are in D state, as / is on same raid,everything sucks like hell.. additionally, something that might give a clue: when I mount the partition with noatime, load gets quickly to 30...40..50 Elmer.
