It seems I was worrying too soon.

I have been putting the system through the wringer some more, and I now believe that it has been caused by adding a new swap file. Just before I rebooted my system I created a larger swap file to be used by /etc/rc.d/add_swap.
Right after I rebooted I started compiling and doing other things. And I am getting the feeling that the system was still initialising that swap file and was unable to provide swap space at that time.

I've rebooted my system again with the PVHVM system, abused it even more than I did before and I'm not seeing the same messages again, nor getting any exaggerated sluggishness.

So my apologies for the false alarm.

Jeroen.
