If you load the vmcp module (as root, run 'modprobe vmcp' without quotes),
you can issue CP commands via Linux shell.
So, load vmcp and try:
'vmcp indicate load'
and
'vmcp indicate user'
(as before, without quotes).

They will show a lot of messages, so take a look on the line saying
something like this (is my outuput):
PAGING-0/SEC STEAL-000%

If paging is too high, it explains the unresponsiveness of your system.
