By manually measuring the memory usage of the PHP.CGI process and by extensive expermimentation with caching.  I finally discovered through a combination of threads in the Drupal forums and a few sentences on the DreamHost Support wiki that it's related to memory usage.

I'm considering enabling the path module, though for links I would think it better to use the node id, since those are more permenent.  I'll have to go look and see.  If it spikes up the memory usage I'll have to take it off though.  It's a nasty balancing act, I assure you.
