When the system is acting sluggish, what does top show you? I've had problems with systems with large (1GB+) amounts of RAM, where kswapd just goes crazy. This is apparently a kernel bug, and there's not much you can do about it. (If someone knows if there is something you can do about it, I'd love to hear it). > any errors.

XFree always tries to do something with APM on startup... not sure what. > BTW: Is it normal that XFree86 uses 280 megs of ram? Yes. Part of that is your video card memory, which isn't really taking system memory. Also, keep in mind that your Xserver is keeping bitmaps of everything that you can see on your screen, and then some.
