My system seems to need to be rebooted once a day, or it just becomes
unusable.
This morning, after the kernel had been up for nearly 48 hours the
system response was very sluggish and a lot of paging was going on.

So I rebooted. Its then I noticed the clock was now also 12 hours slow.

This is a noname with 16meg of RAM. Running pretty much all redhat.
I normally after boot and all daemons running, have approx 4 meg in swap.
At the time I rebooted this had grown to 8, but I couldnt tell what was
eating it all up.
