In fact, having too much RAM in your box will COST you memory, as more kernel memory is used up tracking all your RAM. So cutting your ram to 2 GB will probably improve the upper limit, though it doesn't seem that that's the limit you are hitting. What does 'pfctl -vvsi' show when this problem is happening?
