I used to see something like this on my slackware box, and I think it was due
to a memory leak in netscape. After a while it would start paging
uncontrolably, and it was hard to get control of my system. The solution was
to start using Mozilla.
does it start happening if you leave your system idle for a while (but with
some programs running?) With netscape even if I left the system untouched for
several hours sometimes it would start paging like mad.
See if there is a particular program that you are running when this happens,
maybe it has a bug that results in an infinite loop.
