Hello,
Are you using apache?
Secondly you should install memcache and move everything i/o demanding in ram.
Also by reducing the swapping coefficient you force the OS to not use swap memory at all or rarely (the sole purpose of swap memory is to prevent system crashing when you have full ram usage, at a great cost: performance degrading).
Most servers high load is caused by the swapping procedure.
Moreover have you tried archlinux? It outperforms everything in terms of performance.
Kind regards,
George.
