Is there any chance that changing the session store from ActiveRecord
to cookies, and deleting the sessions table could cause performance
problems with my app? Everything was running fine until I made that
change (and added indexing to all my tables). Now the app jumps right
into the swap and chows up all the memory rendering the server useless
in a matter of hours.
I went through all my recent commits to see what the possible culprits
might be and this was the only thing that raised a question. Thoughts?

Sure, make one major change at a time.
Failing that – did you have any kind of performance analysis going
on before? NewRelic, etc.? Why did you “add indexing”? What are
you doing now to determine where the bottleneck is?
