Default Strange loss of system resources

Hi gang.

Something a little strange is happening.

I am running 98SELite on a 2GHz machine with 1GB of RAM. I have
the following lines in system.ini and everything runs fine
(but... see later):

[vcache]
MinFileCache=0
MaxFileCache=524288

(another section)
MinPagingFileSize=204800
MaxPagingFileSize=204800

(I haven't used ANY of the swap file since I put in the 1GB RAM
:-)

Here's the weirdness:

I seem to be running out of system resources all the time and
quite rapidly - much more so than when I still had just 256 MB
of RAM. After about ½ hr on the web, I get to about 20% on the
1st and 3rd resource and sometimes I have to reboot a few
minutes later.

I use Opera and I have started using FireFox 2.0.0.18 because
Opera crashes a lot with the stupid SWF plugin, although I still
prefer its features and I am very accustomed to it.

If I stay off the web, no problem with sys resources.

Does anyone have any idea WHY this has started happening and
what I can do to fix it?
Any help would be most appreciated, as usual.

t.
