bitcoin node tuning

[ravetildon]

Are there any good tutorials for newbs on tuning  a full node to use max memory/cpu/internet bandwith  if you have a server dedicated to  just being a full node. I've read the main one, but curious what options make the most difference. What upgraded hardware woudl make the most difference to validate more transactions...

What hardware would allow more connections to process? Whats generally the limiting factor?
