It should not be a problem serving 30 active users with this machine.

Have you isolated the cause of the slowness? "netstat -b 1" will show you
network traffic. Have a look at the interfaces with "netstat -i" and see if
there are errors. Run "systat vmstat" look at the area describing disk I/O
to see if any of the disks are under pressure. Also have a look at
PAGING/SWAPPING in the top right to see if the system is running low on
memory.
