We went from 8 to 24 Mbytes on a Sun 3/470.  Only about 27 Mbyte of ~90
Mbyte swap space is being used.  There seems to be a strange scheduling
thing going on because process "go away" (sleep) for about 40 seconds at a
time.  This prompt the error checking processes to start screaming.

I would think that more memory would cause less swapping and not more.
Is there some config thing that we missed?
