Egads, the thick plottens... turns out I have some type of error in my system. In particular:

marten@MacMini-New:/usr/local/bin$ cat /proc/meminfo |grep MemTotal
MemTotal: 859916 kB

Yes you read that right, 860Mb. That's clearly incorrect. I'll go and see if I can put in something better. For this thread though this might be a good hint on how to debug things.

Sean- To your point - Yeah I have a 'fixkswapd' script that says:

marten@MacMini-New:/usr/local/bin$ cat fixkswapd
schedtool -D -n 19 `pidof kswapd0`
echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

Maybe my system has an *actual* memory problem rather than a bug. I'll report back if/when I fix this.
