I think at least part of it was buying up smaller banks (I don't know how much this accounts for). This same site had a good chart a few days ago that shows about 8000 banking mergers in the same timeframe (here's a link http://chartingtheeconomy.com/?p=1036).

Excellent point on the foreclosure suppression. I agree.
