Hard to tell if it is your dc0 ethernet adapter or a swap issue. I would

Yeah, I missed the swap message - when your system is swapping then
performance will definitely be terrible.
And when it's *out* of swap space, it'll be even worse. The OP has two
problems, both of which could be significant. Out of swap is, for certain.
In fact now I see that I've already given this advice to the original
poster on two previous occasions (November and January). I guess he
chooses not to believe it.

Kris: if so, his loss.
Ross: add more swap space, and perhaps your system will behave a tad
better. There's an article in the manual; see also swapon(8) and
/etc/fstab.
Re: watchdog timeouts, see dc(4). If you are on a ISP that has some
performance problems (mine seems that way), that could be it. Also,
check your other network equipment; if you have any way, for example, to
test with a different switch/hub/router, and to try different settings
for the adapter (duplex/half, etc.), it might be worth a try.
Or, you could always change your ethernet card (unless we're talking
about laptops here).
