Hi from my paper
1.1.1 Adding more physical memory to the server
There is point when excessive data in memory start to decrease performance,
because excesive logical reads (reads from data in memory) consume CUP and
latches.
Blocks in memory are not only stored in memory instead of disk, they are other process that registers and keeps tracks of them.
Here is an excellent artilce from hotsos, the registration is free.

First you should optimize reads from memory (LIOs logical read call) and then, you should start to optimize reads from disk (PIOs physical read call)
