Do I understand it correctly that you hint at the font server[1] as the
cause of instability with low memory machines?
Surely, if there's issues with the memory footprint of XFS it would be
beneficial to improve that (or perhaps it is already improved in
Sarge?), compared to swapping over the network...

[1] I take it with "XFS" you are referring the X11 Font Server, and not
the X File System.
