Marc G. Fournier, and lo! it spake thus:

    31750 vnode pager pageins
   209538 vnode pager pages paged in
    15954 vnode pager pageouts
   219494 vnode pager pages paged out

This may be something to look at.  My workstation (~3.5 day uptime)
has a fraction of that:

    7204 vnode pager pageins
   37609 vnode pager pages paged in
       1 vnode pager pageouts
       1 vnode pager pages paged out

Compare to the number of processes spawned (I'm at 10x yours):

    28399  fork() calls
     1708 vfork() calls
        0 rfork() calls

  282510  fork() calls
   22164 vfork() calls
       0 rfork() calls


That sounds like hefty memory pressure.

Which is odd, no, if I'm hardly swapping?
