Hey Adelino,
	I'd love to understand your problems.  You say you've been
running these systems for four months.  Are the slowdowns new?
	Was anything happening on the RO servers at the time?
Especially touching the same files or directories?  How full are the
filesystems?  How much change to they have (that is, are the files
long-lived or constantly being deleted and created)?
