The big question is what does "executor -info" say.  If other things
are tying up your memory, Executor may be paging excessively.  Granted
our disk access isn't particularly optimized, but I'd guess the real
problem is that Executor doesn't have enough memory to run.  The
output of the "mem" command would help, too.
