Without looking in too much detail, I'd reduce cache_mem to 8 MB (the
default). Linux is going to buffer all your ext2 data anyway. There's
not much profit in doing it twice. I've also found some anecdotal
evidence that varying up or down from the default is deletorious to
performance in such circumstances. I don't have sufficient quality data
to back that, though.
