I agree about the memory. But my problem also seemed to be that it was eating a fair amount of swap. This is on a machine with 500M of ram. I finally gave up and went back to 2.64.
Here's a link to some pngs that illustrate the symptoms. http://www.howsyournetwork.com/mem-day.png http://www.howsyournetwork.com/swap-day.png You can see the big change when I finally switched back to 2.64 a little after 5pm. The jumps before that were when I would stop spamd to tweak.
