Robert, I just noticed that this machine is very light on RAM. It was a machine I pressed into service because another one was crashing all the time. Looks like I should add a few more GB.
Still, I wonder if it was running out of memory why it didn't complain. I can see it getting slow because it has to swap out but from the top below you can see that there probably isn't much swapping going on (not at least during the snapshot).
