On such a large system, you should probably have something like this in
rc.local:

#hmm...system tuning...play with the numbers and see what works for you
echo 16384 >/proc/sys/kernel/file-max
echo 49152 >/proc/sys/kernel/inode-max
echo "512 1024 2048" >/proc/sys/vm/freepages

You didn't mention if you were doing any of this already.

You might also consider the kmalloc fds patch.
