But the very nature of "embedded" implies the db is subservient to 
something else, and that something else may need most of the resources.

But I heartily agree that tuning a server can be difficult.  It's highly 
dependent on the context and hardware resources is only a portion of 
that context.  I've seen generous help on this list for specific 
configuration help.
