I pretty much always have VMware running with a minimalist web dev environment (gentoo), Apple Mail, QuickSilver, Safari, Adium, Terminal, and only startup Firefox for some more in-depth CSS/Ajax debugging (firebug ftw).
I have 4G of RAM, and the problem I'm describing I can replicate upon a fresh reboot with only my Gentoo VM (1GB RAM), Safari, and TextMate running. That's why I was leaning towards the problem being by TextMate, and not by low memory conditions.

Andrew, expanding on this comment below, what other non "App" apps are you using?
I have DropBox, which seems to be using about 35/1000 MB, Safari is way up there with 350/1500 MB, mds indexing 49/800 MB, X-Marks 33/950 MB, The rest are really low, other than a kernel task that is chewing up 135/1000 MB
But I also have KeyBoard Maestro, LaunchBar, 1Password, Growl, NetWork Location, type it 4 me, Lite Switch X, and probably a few more.
Most of these I would really hate to see go. I can tell x-Marks to run on demand, but that is a new one, and this happened before that, So is Dropbox and LaunchBar.

Also, I wonder if the OPs problem with slow re-foregrounding might actually be caused by memory leaks/hogging by some of the other apps being run concurrently, causing a bigger swap in?
