So the bleeding packages didnt really fix anything.  When i was watching
HDTV and a commflag was going on i see this with free -m

[myth at mythtv ~]$ free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:           939        930          8          0          1         88
-/+ buffers/cache:        840         98
Swap:         2596       1069       1527
[myth at mythtv ~]$

So ram is full and a gig of swap is being used!  The system really
drags.....  I just upgraded this box and was expecting stuff like this to
fly when I have a 2.4ghz dual core!  Is this just how it is?
