Honest: if you are not very, very, very into knowledge about kernels,

Ask some consultant to do it for you (if you want to be in the cloud),
or rent a real hardware server from some good server provider.

Actually I had thought of that...hiring a consultant to do the tuning of the cloud install...but some people are telling me that such tuning is going to be an ongoing job and I will have to keep on doing it thereby adding enough consultant cost to my itty-bitty project, so as to make cloud cost gains redundant.

Is the issue faced one-time at install or am I going to face it again and again?

And I assume I would face those issues on all virtual computers, wether at Amazone or linode?
