Free memory (or the lack thereof) isn't the issue though.

The issue is this:
Swap: 8192M Total, 116K Used, 8192M Free
and that's the piece of the puzzle that has us all utterly baffled.

No way in creation this box should be swapping.

Do you, by any chance, have vm.swap_idle_enabled set to 1?

No, it isn't: gonzo# sysctl -a |grep vm.swap_idle_enabled vm.swap_idle_enabled: 0

Strange. AFAIK, processes are not swapped out to disk unless there is a severe memory shortage. The usual case is to have them "paged" out, which is a bit different.

That was my understanding also, and that's what's baffling us
