I think it's more of an OS problem and less a prob with Nuke.  Linux does a
lot of background caching, which can fight for resources.  Would it help to
clear the page cache and reclaim some RAM?  I think that's what IT was
doing at my last job.

shell> echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

(as root)

You could set it up to run once every so often if this is the fix you were
looking for.
