LOL!
I had only 1G ram, but the raid was a 1T hardware raid.

I did peak once via ssh while I was running fsck.ext3 (at that
time which was close to hour 20 ). As I recall I thought I would see
large numbers in the %cpu and %mem columns. I dont remember
exactly what I saw, but it was something like 10% cpu and 10% mem
but I can't swear. It certainly was not hogging more. I perhaps should
have done something with nice to make it more agressive...
