Have had similar "freeze" problems with 515E, always directly related to
the connection count.  Rather than the 'show xlate count' as above, you
would get a better idea from 'show conn count' which will include all
connection entries and not just xlates.

Our 515 starts choking ~20-30,000 connections.
