I'm betting on that Java app he mentioned. ;)
I've seen very very few Java anythings that didn't suck memory into
oblivion.
My DP G5 only has a gig-o'RAM, and I almost never page out.

Most of my load
problems seem to be largely due to the really sucky
Virtual Memory implementation in Mac OS X. Someone mind telling me
why on earth with 1.5GB RAM I'm using 4GB of VM just by logging in?
Earlier today my VM usage was up over 10GB! I think the "beachball"
can almost always, if not always, be blamed on something swapping in
or out of memory.
That doesn't seem right. On my dual G4 running 10.2.8 with 2GB RAM, I get
hardly any pageouts at all running multiple apps at once (I have a
performance monitor running in the menu bar). Where are you getting the
VM figure from?
