I think you want the filesystem fixes from pl15a, at least. (The buffer cache
problem, where it won't shrink because all the pages for executables are at
the head of the free list so it thinks it has to page stuff out to make room
instead of reusing file buffers.)

/var/spool/mail should be mode 1777 root.mail. (Note the sticky bit.) This
is the recommended permission for RMAIL (or at least it was in Emacs 18) to
work.
