This isn't a very good idea on PowerMacs - the standard advice (assuming
that it's not changed with the newer OSs) is, rather than turn VM off,
set it to 1MB above the amount of real RAM you've got.  This is because
memory management is more efficient with VM on.

This might well help - you'll have to do it if you turn VM off, because
PowerMac applications need more RAM if VM is turned off.
