Comment(by tomeu):

 Yes, gnash starts growing in memory but at some point it slows down and
 all processes that occasionally do something (sugar-shell, olpc-update,
 ds-backup, X, browse, etc) start using all the CPU and top says >80% sys.

 So I guess their code got paged out and those processes are trying to read
 from jffs2 their code again, but failing to do so because before they
 manage to read the code from nand, some other part of their code has been
 paged out to disk again.

 Perhaps we really need compcache?

 I think this has little to do with Browse and should be moved to kernel or
 distro.
