You mention having machines with 16GB RAM.
How exactly is this used?
I just checked my 2 servers;
the one here (I'm in Italy) has 5GB RAM, 4GB of which is free
("Mem: 4829188k total, 847540k used, 3981648k free").
The server in Ireland has 4GB RAM, with 500MB free
("Mem: 3793928k total, 3209440k used, 584488k free")
on servers:
* MySQL with large InnoDB-Buffers (
http://www.dbmail.org/)
* Web-Applications where you expect more than a few users
* Bytecode-Caches and Query-Cache for MySQL
* VMware Workstation in Headless-Mode on Homeservers for isolation / testing
* VMware ESXi on production hosts
* many other services i mentioned before

on workstations:
* Eclipse / ZendStudio (it is very happy to have >= 700 MB for it's own)
* Desktop
* Firefox
* Thunderbird
* VMware Workstation
* OpenOffice
* OS-Cache
* all the services using in production on serveral veritual machines for testing
half a hour after i started my machine it is using around 3GB active
yes, my focus is on heavy use
but for only write some mails and web-brwosing i can not see why 10 seconds
more or less are making the difference and as cheaper/slower your hardware
is as longer wake up from suspend takes
