I just increased my memory from 8MB to 16MB and the machine has
slowed down drastically.

I timed a complete compile of /bin/sh. It took 52 seconds with 8MB
and 163 seconds with 16MB.

I'm using a kernel with all the patchkit-0.2 patches installed.

Anyone know what's causing this, and is there a fix?
