We run these on separate nodes. We saturate a 16G RAM node just running the name node, but we have a lot of files and clients.

My namenode and jobtracker are both on a machine that is a datanode and has
a tasktracker as well.  It is also less well outfitted than yours.

I have no problems, but my data is encrypted which might make the CPU/disk
trade-offs very different.

The map task in question is the IdentityMapper, this job is a simple
merge sort, combining data by key where there are duplicate keys in
the input stream.
There is no swapping going on in my cluster, and the machines in
question are all 8 processor boxes, and the tasks.maximum was set to 6.
