Caching compressed/gzipped files for a while may be a win.

It'd be interesting to know where majority of that 98M is
going.  Memory leak? profligate memory use? or just a huge
amount of data?  It is probably spending half its time
paging.  318:39 for syslogd?  Hmm...

It'd also be interesting to know who waits for how long and why.

Performance tuning can be an interesting and rewarding exercise!
