All the programs mentioned by you are relatively memory-intensive. How much memory do you have installed and what OS/desktop is your computer running?
To confirm a possible memory shortage do the following: open a shell window and issue
Let it run for some lines of output until the output is relatively stable. Now start the two programs in question and watch the change in the display. You should be able to see the free memory amount dropping and at the same time the swap activity going up. This would confirm a memory shortage.
The only way to cure such a problem is putting more memory in.
I hope this helps.

I have a dual boot of Fedora and XP. I use Fedora way more often though. I have 4 GB of ram and a 4 GB swap. 4 GB of ram is the maximum with this computer.
Is this part a mistake?
Shouldn't I touch that file to create it first?
Why do you think it is ram instead of cpu issue? I was thinking it was a cpu issue. Ram is much easier to replace so I hope your right.

cgexec
CGEXEC(1) libcgroup Manual CGEXEC(1)NAME
cgexec - run the task in given control groups
SYNOPSIS
cgexec [-h] [-g <controllers>:<path>] [--sticky] command [arguments]
DESCRIPTION
The cgexec program executes the task command with arguments arguments in the given control groups.
-g <controllers>:<path>
defines the control groups in which the task will be run. controllers is a list of controllers and path is the relative path to
control groups in the given controllers list.
This flag can be used multiple times to define multiple pairs of lists of controllers and relative paths. Instead of the list of
all mounted controllers, the wildcard b"*b" can be used.
If this option is not used, cgexec will automatically place the task in the right cgroup based on /etc/cgrules.conf.
-h, --help
Display this help and exit.
--sticky
If running the task command with this option, the daemon of service cgred (cgrulesengd process) does not change both the task of the
command and the child tasks. Without this option, the daemon does not change the task of the command but it changes the child tasks
to the right cgroup based on /etc/cgrules.conf automatically.
EXAMPLES
cgexec -g *:test1 ls
runs command ls in control group test1 in all mounted controllers.
cgexec -g cpu,memory:test1 ls -l
runs command ls -l in control group test1 in controllers cpu and memory.
cgexec -g cpu,memory:test1 -g swap:test2 ls -l
runs command ls -l in control group test1 in controllers cpu and memory and control group test2 in controller swap.
