We only have a few CFs (6 or 7). I've increased the MemtableThroughputInMB and MemtableOperationsInMillions as per your suggestions. Do we really need a swap file though? I suppose it can't hurt, but with my problem in particular we weren't maxing out main memory.
We'll be running another test today and see if the settings changes proposed so far fix our problem ( I hope so ).
