Peter Hoeg:  Mine behaves almost exactly like you're describing. I've
found if I create a 512MB swapfile and every time it starts getting a
bit laggy like it's about to freeze up, I tab over to a terminal window
and run:

sudo swapon /path/to/swapfile
sudo swapoff -a

Something about turning on the swapfile and turning it back off does
something that usually buys me about an hour before it starts locking up
again. I know it's not great, but it's better than rebooting several
times a day. I really wish someone would fix this problem, it's been
consistent for me and a daily struggle/annoyance on 3 releases now.
Until this problem is fixed, Ubuntu = Windows ME :(
