It did not help.

However I tweak network stack a little bit:
/sbin/sysctl -w net/core/rmem_max=8388608
/sbin/sysctl -w net/core/wmem_max=8388608
/sbin/sysctl -w net/core/rmem_default=1048576
/sbin/sysctl -w net/core/wmem_default=1048576
/sbin/sysctl -w net/ipv4/tcp_window_scaling=1
/sbin/sysctl -w net/ipv4/tcp_rmem="4096 1048576 8388608"
/sbin/sysctl -w net/ipv4/tcp_wmem="4096 1048576 8388608"
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 txqueuelen 1000

this is /proc/meminfo:

Note that there is 400MB of _free_ memory.

This is from slabinfo (hope that it is relevant info..)
