Running Squid on your region server as a reverse proxy to the asset server
1. Download and install the Squid Proxy from: http://www.squid-cache.org/Download/
2. Create your squid.conf configuration file.
3. Change your asset_server configuration in your OpenSim.ini to point to http://localhost:3128/
4. Start everything up!
Now assets will be cached in the squid cache on the region server, and will be served up much faster, especially on region restart.
GC_NO_EXPLICIT
Sometimes this patch applied to mono-svn has helped my sim run a lot faster and not slowly get bogged down.

Not only this, but I recompile the mono runtime:
--with-large-heap=yes
Otherwise, the Sim is limited to 3GB RAM. Probably, this second peice is more important. But still, afterwards it's worth a shot to test with both to see if there is a difference in performance:
export GC_NO_EXPLICIT=1
and
unset GC_NO_EXPLICIT
What I think, (only a guess) is that Mono starts internally GC thrashing in fishing expeditions to gaining maybe 1k of RAM at time. And by having a large heap (>3GB), it is possible might keep mono less apt to do stop world complete collections as often.
