That would explain higher memory usage of firefox. It does not explain the
kernel failing to make proper use of the available memory. The cause of
*that* must lie somewhere in kernel space. Either this is a generic problem
with the current kernel and it's just that very few people are hitting it,
or it's a problem specific to some particular uses of the kernel. Some
ideas that come to mind are LVM snapshots, LUKS encryption, and virtual
machines.
