I happen to notice a strange thing about my system. After 20hours of uptime it shows 
the following usage of RAM and swap space:

free
----
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:        256488     253044       3444          0       7484      86924
-/+ buffers/cache:     158636      97852
Swap:       257000     150232     106768

That was an enormous amount of swap space used for just 2terminals and I graphical 
application! When I tried top it showed me this very strange line:

  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  Command
15686 root      15   0  427m  59m 7952 S  0.7 23.9  13:03.78 X
