I have a feeling that this *is* related to network activity though. I 
started out with the same thoughts of interactivity and RAM usage. Later 
I gave the graphics card the blame. Finally I discovered this common 
factor, that the heavier the traffic on the network the faster you would 
have the big freeze.
In your case, networking is not over wireless - hmm :-|  Could it be 
that the wireless just needs to be there? Because both my freezing 
machines worked flawlessly when I removed the wireless and used the 
remaining wired. On the other hand: You installed the backport and that 
didn't help  :-(
