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.
