Total System Physical Memory: 268435456
File System Memory Allocated: 179972592
Memory To be Written: 4210812
Memory On Loan: 0

Ok, on those dropouts, (see previous graph) I can reproduce them. It happens when opening a program that scans a large number of MP3s to make sure they match the database. I don't know if any of them are opened. when the program stops, everything returns to normal. I do see network dips at regular intervals, but never like this (zero net traffic, often for more than a second.) Even huge file transfers will not cause the problem, but this (necessary) program does.

What I learned by studying the debug screens is that the "memory to be written" above increases until just about the time of the traffic blackout, and is then zeroed out and begins increasing again. During large transfers, this changes a little, but usually it stays under 50K, during my problem it grows to over 4500K! The eventual write must be causing the snap to stall.

I guess I'll try going back to 128M RAM to see if will clean itself up faster.
