Got it from eBay, 2x 8GB DIMMs so now this baby's drowning in 16GB, and while not blazingly fast by contemporary standards, she is quite brisk, a huge difference! Wowee, should have done it a long time ago.

Thanks to you and @karnuffel !

I now have a 4GB ECC factory DIMM and no use for it, so you have first dibs if you need it for something, @karnuffel second dibs. Let me know via PM.

Now just get a beefier CPU as well :p Not sure what I got but helped with performance. I'll post a screenshot after load shedding.

Thanks for the offer but I'm still okay with 12GB :)

Yep, it seems to be CPU bound when doing backups via SSH to a ZFS pool. Ample memory, but CPU appears to struggle a bit.

So I have my eyes on a Xeon E3-1265L v2, it's still the same architecture as the G1610T (Ivy Bridge, even though I am led to believe that it can take Sandy Bay arch too), but 10W TDP more, and I suspect that it is largely due to the addition of Intel® HD Graphics 2500, which I clearly won't be usingin this application. My question therefore is whether I need to consiuder additional / active cooling vs the fanless heatsink currently on the G1610T.

What other processors should I be looking at?
