Per some advice I received on #ubuntu-kernel I'm attaching some debugging output. Here is a list of the files:

vmstat-log-7-July-2010.txt: Output of `vmstat 1 60` once the system started swapping
free.txt: Output of `free -m` a minute later
free-2.txt: Output of `free -m` about 10 seconds after I ran free the first time
top-ouput.txt: Output of `top -b -n 1`

In case it isn't reflected in the top output, I'm running Chromium with four (?) tabs open (no Flash site or anything like that), Xchat connected to two servers and with about seven channels open, Evince viewing a simple pdf document, a Nautilus window, one gnome-terminal window and Banshee playing an mp3. Again, this is a normal load for me that didn't have a problem with previous versions of Ubuntu on the same device.
