Kernel memory setting is bad...
I've been kicking myself trying to figure out why we're swapping a lot
more under the new kernel than we were before...

Well, it looks like the maximum memory limit is wrong! There's actually a
setting that one has to flip in the kernel config to use more than 1 gig
of RAM... so we're only using half the available memory. Oops! :)

I'll whip up a fresh kernel and reboot.

Doh! That's my fault (I'm sure you've already cursed my name).
Sorry.
