If the systems are not blindingly fast and don't have massive amounts of RAM, the most likely cause of this is the idle ssh, sshd and shell being paged out by scheduled jobs.

Are you doing something different as far as scheduled jobs are concerned? (Eg you've stopped running "make buildworld" overnight) The scope of changes in -current is probably enough to explain the different behaviour in any case. -- Peter Jeremy
