aused by insufficient memory
is to add memory. Running fewer jobs or opening fewer browser tabs may
improve performance, but adding swap to an actively swapping system and
keeping the workload the same (or increasing it) is quite unlikely to
improve performance, and might make it worse.

But it's not a big problem. The only thing that doesn't work without the
kernelmodule are the fn-keys. The suspend to disk and suspend to RAM works
fine with the standart ACPI-modules (Sarge with Kernel 2.6.12.2).
