Also, my I/O is pretty fast. It can do 250/MBsec read/write randomly. If that helps..
Don't think so...

That's not the best use of IO resources. Of course, some apps, like OLTP, are random by design, and you just have to suffer the extra, un-used (i.e. wasted) effort.
application memory intensive and I would like it to not swap. I want it to use physical memory as much as possible. Once the memory is read and operated on, I want that page to disappear and not even goto paging status. What is the best VM tuning for this?
If it is a single-application machine, the most direct method is to disable swap.
# swapoff -aAnother tactic would be to use a small swap file, and reduce "swappiness".
