Hi there,

I have something kinda image hosting, almost 220G (651k files, images).
Since most users getting quite random content, there is no way cache 
most used files in ram.

We got best performances with ext4 and bfq io sched, Whole system is 
gentoo-based etc... so I think you may want try optimize it on OS level.

Dual Core Xeon 2,5GHz, 4G ram and standalone raid10 array, two nginx 
workers.
