Same visual effect here, however changing kernel paramters did wonders...
*looks up his sysconfigtab*
Ahh i remember now - it wasnt a patch.  I ran the syscheck type utility 
which recommends things you should change - such as missing patches.  It 
also told me to add the following to sysconfigtab. (using whatever the tool 
is - long time since i fixed this :P)

generic:
       msgbuf_size=16384
       message-buffer-size=16384

vm:
       vm-ubcseqstartpercent=40
       vm-page-free-target=256
       vm-mapentries=16384
       vm-vpagemax=131072

proc:
       maxusers=512

inet:
       udp_ttl=60

Some of these wont affect it obvious - but the vm ones are probably good to 
lookinto.
