I attended a Southern Maryland Mac Users Group meeting last night and learned Lion is better at handling ram than Snow Leopard. So this may be a new or continuing Lion ram problem or a Snow Leopard ram problem. And in this context, it's probably a valid probable cause for the problem already described here unless found not to be the case.

Most of the time I do not have a problem for the rest of the session.
