[SAC] SWAP space filled

[sbarnes]

I just did a quick check of the logs and it may have been a few things.

the httpd server was restart around 15:54 yesterday by Tyler around  
that time

trac was doing a changeset in ossim
multiple robots where spidering, msnbot, slurp, twiciler, and teoma

the teoma (ask jeeves) robot was crawling through our mail archives

65.214.45.100 - - [04/Feb/2008:15:53:48 -0500] "GET /pipermail/grass- 
commit/2001-May/000154.html HTTP/1.0" 404 263 "-" "Mozilla/5.0  
(compatible; Ask Jeeves/Teoma; +http://about.ask.com/en/docs/about/webmasters.shtml)

i suspect it was probably the combo, that pushed our load up.
