Already tried that, no effect.

There was a tiny (16 MB, I think) chunk of unassigned space at the end
of my drive. It didn't seem big enough to store much of anything,
although now that I think of it I suppose it could be compressing
things. Anyway, it's now part of my swap partition. I'm pretty sure
Debian initialized it. I'm not sure what that does, but it's still
working.

Perhaps. How would I know? There's nothing in the bios settings that
indicates it one way or the other.
I don't know when the Presasio 1700 came out, but I believe it's a
fairly recent model. I bought it in early August 2000.
