Could you elaborate on that (swappiness) just a bit :-) ? Is this a
generic Linux setting, or RH/CentOS specific ? TIA
A memory leak *WOULD* cause this kind of thing. SGI had such a problem a
few years back in some version or other of their (released) IRIX OS, &
X.org just got back into the game, so that's fairly plausible as well.

<pre wrap=""><!---->swappiness is a 2.6 kernel setting that allows you to change the
behavior of swap memory.
There are a couple good links in this article:
