Hello Edward, first thanks for your answer.
My system has 1536M. After I has started my system with 512M I copied three different files and the system freezed only once for less than 0,5 seconds and "ent:hda8!" shows up less frequently in top. But after rebooting with 1536M I could not reproduce the longer freezes. So it has to be also related with uptime and programs I'm using. Uptime was 2 days and the most important programs to mention are firefox and azureus. Azureus was downloading to the reiser4 partition but only with 10-15kb/s. I have rebooted with 512M and will try it some days.
