This box has 3/4 G RAM:
Cpu(s): 1.0% user, 2.6% system, 0.0% nice, 96.4% idle
Mem: 774652k total, 723136k used, 51516k free, 20728k buffers
Swap: 642488k total, 41464k used, 601024k free, 502460k cached
No other large programs were running. Mythbackend, standard services,
and nuvexport.
Anything I can do to get more info? Would it be useful to try running
from a vc without X running?
