I turned added a swap file using the directions above and this has
made a large difference for me.  Last night I was experiencing freezes
after a short period of time, preceded by things getting quite slow.
Tonight, after enabling swap I have been able to navigate around
pretty well and even run FireFox for a bit - though the swap usage was
creeping up while using FireFox.

Definitely much more usable with the swap file.

I did do a small bit of tuning with the Gnome session, turning off the
following items:

Bluetooth Manager
GNOME Splash Screen
Network Authentication
PackageKit Update Applet
Print Queue Applet
SELinux Troubleshooter
User Sharing
