I am seeing something like this too. The way it looks for me is as if the hard drive just stops responding - everything that wants disk access freezes, but everything else keeps working normally. Once in a while the disk would "unfreeze", I would see a lot of disk activity, and then another freeze (for a periods varying from a few seconds to couple of minutes).
I think we've got a handle on this. On a "low" memory box (128/256mb or so), it's easy to reproduce.
Ah-hah - I experience the pauses and I got only 256MB. Been planning to buy more since I built this box january/03 - just never got around to it. Never really felt like I absolutely needed more.
