I had some time this weekend to check this out. I found another 128 MB 
RAM, put it into the server (and tested it OK). I took the server to my 
office and connected it directly to the main switch, to rule out 
networking bottlenecks.

I opened up 'top' on the server and switched to memory display (Shift-O, 
O, Enter).

On my desktop PC I transferred a bunch of files, and memory usage 
instantly went from around 110 MB to 250 MB, and then it began to swap 
and left the transfer with a steady 4800 k/s stream.

So I guess it was effectively a problem of missing RAM.

Cheers,

Niki

PS : machine is also running dhcpd, named, httpd, mysqld, squid, smb, 
and I feel like I'm moving an appartment in a Morris Mini Cooper :o)
