For what it's worth, I've had a few instances of Galeon spinning out of control and churning 50-80% of system resources - whatever happens to it, it is also doing disk access (wasn't just swapping), and between the two, system grinds to a slow crawl. No idea whether it's Galeon (version 1.3.9 installed), or underlying Mozilla (1.4). I have hints that it may have been a Java (1.4.1) applet (from a loaded web page) going out of control that starts the problem, but nothing conclusive yet.
