Evan,sys_process_count is somewhere between 5k and 11k on the nodes right now. Concerning your suggested +P config, according to the erlang-docs, the default for this param already is 262144, so setting it to 655536 would in fact lower it?
We chose the ring size to be able to handle growth which was the main reason to switch from mysql to nosql/riak. We have 12 Nodes, so about 86 vnodes per node.
No, we don't monitor object sizes, the majority of objects is very small (below 200 bytes), but we have objects storing references to this small objects which might grow to a few megabytes in size, most of these are paged though and should not exceed one megabyte. Only one type is not paged (implementation reasons).
The outgoing/incoming traffic constantly is around 100 Mbit, if the peformance drops happen, we suddenly see spikes up to 1GBit. And these spikes constantly happen on three nodes as long as the performance drop exists.

Ingo, riak-admin status | grep sys_process_count will tell you how many processes are running. The default process limit on erlang is a little low, and we'd suggest raising in (especially with your extra-large ring_size). Erlang processes are cheap, so 65535 or even double that will be fine. Busy dist ports are still worrying. Are you monitoring object sizes? Are there any spikes there associated with performance drops?

Our initial suggestion was to add +swt very_low to your vm.args, as well as setting the +zdbbl setting that Jon recommended in the list post you pointed to. If those help, moving to 1.3 should help more. Other limits in vm.args that can cause problems are +P, ERL_MAX_PORTS, and ERL_MAX_ETS_TABLES. Are any of these set? If so, to what? Can you also pate the eleveldb section of your app.config?
