Fixed some things on the server, and I'm now fronting static content with Nginx, and serving Bugzilla pages with mod_perl. So at the cost of a few hundred megabytes of memory, using Bugzilla via the web should be much nicer now.
For those who really want to work with Bugzilla, I can't recommend DeskZilla Lite (http://almworks.com/deskzilla/download.html) quite enough. It's completely free for use with the Ledger project. John
