Personally, I've found that in the last 5 years or so the linux kernel starts being less efficient once you hit the swap barrier. It chugs along fine until you hit swap then it slows down (as it of course would) but once you bring the memory usage back below the swap-line it never seems to recover to its initial speed. Very odd. I especially notice this on smaller devices like my N900; I find that after I get to a certain point of usage on my laptop or my N900 it's worth a reboot to recover speed. Gasp.
