All this depends a lot on your workload. If you're CPU-bound, maybe it will not change anything. If you're doing a lot of disk accesses, the choice of the filesystem will be far more important than any config option you might change. If you're doing a lot of network traffic, you might consider not loading every unneeded network subsystem (ipv6, netfilter, bridging, ...) to save CPU cycles, though it does not seem to be your problem given your other mail indicating a 100 Mbps NIC. If you don't know what limits your application, it is possible that you will first run it with "standard" parameters (defaults from your distro), and later reinstall it differently once you have measured it usage.
