You are not going to get great performance on those machines with that little
memory (16MB and 32MB).

That memory limit seems excessive for a machine with so little memory.
However, as discussed on the list, there are bugs in php 4.1.2 which
could cause you to require setting memory_limit higher than really 
needed/used.

Set memory limit lower.  Probably around 20MB, 30MB at max should work.
If it doesn't, then try a different version of php and see if that fixes it.

Or, add more memory to your machines.
