Now that I'm looking for swapping, it's obvious that there are 2 factors here. 
The system is definitely slower than lenny even before it starts swapping, but 
at the points where it gets excessively slow, it's clearly being slowed 
further by swapping. The amount of swap space used is definitely higher than 
it was under lenny for the same mix of apps, so I guess I need to run less 
garbage and/or buy more RAM.
