I only posted because it had been thrashing. (Now that it's under the limit there's no problem, but I suspect that when I go over again it will do the same.) I identified this by
1. A marked slowdown in all processes
2. Hard drive sound
3. The yellow virtual memory meter (I have the system monitor in my panel) spiked up, where it had previously (hours or days) been flat
I have 2 GB of memory.
