There is probably not enough stashed in /var/run to make a difference,
but if there is a lot in /tmp, it could bloat the amount of inactive
memory and cause other things to be pushed to swap.  What does
	df /tmp
say?

Depending on the workload, you might find that the change committed in
r280963 helps interactivity.

I still can't explain the ssh connection timeout problems that you are
seeing.  What does
	ps lax
report as the MWCHAN for the stuck ssh and/or sshd processes?
