We wait about 10 to 15 minutes it then resumes regular operation. I am also running Parallels with Windows7. It also has that creeping use of free memory, but that is for another post. Could this be a kernal panic?
Mac mini, Mac OS X (10.6.7)
No, a KP will require a reboot, there is no recovering from a KP, it's a dead end.
How Much RAM does it have, & how much Free Space on the Hard Drive?
I have 8GB of ram. I show 181 GB free on the hard drive. (raid1 with two 500GB) I have configured 256GB to Win7 in Parallels. Is that too much? I use Win7 to run a security camera system that records from 3 cameras. everyday I delete the recordings from 5 days earlier. I use Time Machine to external HDs that I swap out every day. This problem started affecting us about 3 weeks ago.
I forgot to mention that we have a small parish office with 8 users. The most common manifestation of the problem is at boot -up when the user's machine canot logon to the server. Sometimes it logs on right away, but after the users accesses a file from the server it may loose the connection or sloow down so much that it cannot save or retrieve a file.
Just to note, there is SW to do that in OSX, Security Spy...

I don't see a particular problem there, not sure how the 256GB works though.
Open Activity Monitor, Show:>All Processes, sort on CPU%, see if anything using too much CPU% when this happens, click on Memory tab, do you have many Pageouts?
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
Are these Netbooting from the server, or just set to Automounting the server?
I have a process from Parallels, prl_vm_app that uses 60%-70% CPU, but in the setup I have dedicated only one CPU to it. My understanding is that because I have 2 CPU's the processonly uses 30%-35% of the total available.
Memory shows 535MB pageouts.
The clients auto mount the server.

This portion is related to the clamav anti-virus engine that comes with the Server. Although I know a lot about the engine, it's all in conjunction with the ClamXav application for the Client version of Mac OS X. It appears to me that something has corrupted the database, which normally consists of at least three files (main, daily and bytecode) with extensions of either .cvd or .cld depending on whether they are compressed or not, but I'm not sure as to their exact location. My recommendation in such cases is to delete those files and allow the freshclam update process to re-download a new database. Hopefully a Snow Leopard Server user will jump in here and help out.
I have no idea what the jabberd process is, but it seems to be having network issues.
My Mini Snow Leopard server has frequent freezes or slowdowns
